Product Information

The quietly enigmatic Foyle would much rather serve his country in the armed forces, but his superiors deem him indispensable for combating the heightening anarchy along England's south coast, where the German army is expected any day.

The first six series are set during the Second World War in Hastings, Sussex, England, and in series seven, Foyle works after retirement for MI5 on Cold War espionage. An example of the later concept was even developed by Horowitz as Foyle's Last Case, an exclusive two-part Christmas short story for The Daily Mail newspaper, published there on the 22nd and 23rd of December 2018. The series follows Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) attempting to catch criminals that are taking advantage of the confusion created by the Second Word War.Foyle finds himself drawn into complex webs of security and counter security where the loyalties of even those closest to him are brought into question as he joins, somewhat unwillingly at first, the ranks of MI5.

As the stories of DCS Foyle progress through the War, in the final two series we find ourselves in a time of peace at last.While it may appear the "complete collection" [44] box set includes seven seasons, there are only the first six series included. Series 1-8 are available for streaming on Acorn TV and occasionally on Netflix (the latest run in 2014–2017) via paid subscription. Although Foyle often comes up against high-ranking officials in the British military or intelligence services who would prefer that he mind his own business, he seeks justice tenaciously. That year, Honeysuckle Weeks was nominated for the 10th National Television Awards' Most Popular Newcomer award.

But I already know the series and bought all of them because I truly appreciate the quality of these films and the stories, and how realistic they are.Uncertainty,espionage, bombs and internment are the new facts of life for Foyle and those around him. Acorn Media contracted Cre-a-TV to repackage Foyle's War in two-part episodes to run in PBS' time slots. Season 1 episodes are: 'The German Woman', 'The White Feather', 'A Lesson in Murder' and 'Eagle Day'.

Season 1: Spring and summer 1940: World War II has just begun and England looks all but doomed in the face of an inevitable German invasion. The series is also notable for its attention to historical detail, and the drama is frequently moved along by historical events of the Second World War. Each episode runs for 90 to 100 minutes, filling a two-hour time slot on ITV when commercials are included. Foyle's War opens in southern England in the year 1940 - which may seem a strangely remote period in which to place a new detective, but the setting turns out to be a means of adding moral and dramatic depth to the storylines.Set against the background of real events, the second series sees Foyle and his team investigating a looting racket which ends in murder, an illicit trade in fuel, a shooting during Home Guard manoeuvres, and a secret wartime hideaway. In a newspaper article and an interview accompanying the series-one DVD set, Horowitz explained that he was seeking a name which evoked the early 1940s. This collectable boxed set features every episode of the acclaimed television series, digitally remastered to deliver the best possible quality, along with a rich array of behind-the-scenes features, cast and crew interviews and so much more.
