Foyle's war

This is a most excellent TV detective series set in Hastings in the second world war. Michael Kitchen plays Detective Foyle who is in the police force based in Hastings. He is a reluctant policeman and has tried on more than one occasion to have a bigger part to play in the war effort. He has a sidekick Paul Milner played by Anthony Howell who lost a leg during the war and helps Foyle in his investigations. For reasons that are never clear Foyle does not drive so he has a driver Samantha Stewart played by the very attractive and ginger haired Honeysuckle Weeks. Foyle has a son in the RAF who makes an appearance every so often.

The series are gradually following the chronological path of the war; we have seen the events in Dunkirk and this series started with the US forces making an appearance in Hastings. The stories usually involve a murder or two but are quite gentle just the right sort of program to watch on a Sunday night. The episodes are on 9pm Sundays ITV1.
