Foyle's War Set 8
The last in the Foyle series (to date ??). Michael Kitchen's wonderful Christopher Foyle is a great character. If this is indeed the last series, I will miss him.
This series, set in the early cold war days after WW2 is rather darker than the previous series. It is not as hopeful in tone as the series set during the war. It shows the fear and paranoia in those days, and the cat and mouse game played by all, British, Russians, Americans as main players.
It is interesting in that information about many incidents shown in the series have now been accessible to
people because the Official Secrets Act's restriction on participants revealing their activities during that time
frame is ended. ( I believe it was 50 years?)
The series bases many characters on actual people, especially, for example, Vera Atkins, the person they base Hilda Pierce's character on. So, if you are also into learning the history this was based on, it will give you several hints and surprises to have you heading off to your local library or internet source to learn more.
