Foyle's War

My spouse and I began watching this series when our local PBS station aired it and it quickly became one of our favorite BBC series--for the mysteries and for the historical background. We seem to have missed part of the series, though, so just picked up Set 3 at our local library for our latest date night viewing. Detective Christopher Foyle (played by Michael Kitchen) plays the lead in this series based on historical fact and filmed in England. Although Detective Foyle would love to be part of the war effort, he seems to be destined to stay in Hastings solving local crimes while his son serves in the war as an RAF pilot. Honeysuckle Weeks plays "Sam," the female military driver assigned to squire him around while he's on duty. Sgt. Milner's (Foyle's able assistant)war wounds force him to return home and to his work in the police department helping solve crime on the home front. The story line also does an excellent job of developing the personal lives of all the characters and the impact the war has on each of them as well as the local community and England in general.
