Combining uncompromising historical accuracy with compelling mysteries, this acclaimed PBS series continues with three feature-length episodes. Michael Kitchen (Out of Africa) stars as DCS Christopher Foyle, investigating wartime crimes in an English coastal town. With the end of World War II slowly but inevitably approaching, Foyle and his fellow citizens learn the price of victory and face a peace that will transform their lives in unexpected ways.

Also starring Anthony Howell and Honeysuckle Weeks, and featuring Nicholas Day, Malcolm Sinclair, Nicholas Woodeson, Duncan Bell, Julian Ovenden, Mark Bazeley, Julian Wadham, and Phyllida Law.

THE MYSTERIES:

PLAN OF ATTACK—With the Hastings police force suffering attrition and low morale, Foyle comes out of retirement to probe the mysterious death of a cartographer from the Air Ministry office.

BROKEN SOULS—The murder of an ambitious young doctor at the local psychiatric clinic produces no shortage of suspects among the staff and patients, many of whom still experience the war’s horrors.

ALL CLEAR—With final victory expected any day, Hastings looks ahead to a radically different post-war life. But the end comes too soon for two men—one a murder victim, the other an apparent suicide.

DVD SEPCIAL FEATURES INCLUDE making-of documentary, cast member reflections, notes on a real-life Foyle, and cast filmographies.

John Queue on Foyle's War
The entire groop is very interesting. It gives a point of view that I have seen nowhere else.

Too bad the war is over.
This series like the others that preceded it paint a vivid picture of rural England during and just after the Second World War. Who could have ever believed that all these intrigues and treachery existed so far from London and the Front and how Foyle and his band of faithful cohorts solved them all. Too bad the war is over.

Foyle's War - Season Five
First, my shopping experience with amazon.com was easy. Now for the product. Being fans of the British television series may color my review. Season Five of Foyle's War was everything I wanted: questions answered, the war (WWII) ended, the characters accounted for. My only regret is that it was the last. Excellent series, excellent actors. The bonus feature recounting a "real" Detective Foyle reminded one that, although the series was fiction, it was based on fact.

Highly recommended - especially for Anglophiles or anyone interested in WWII history.

Foyle's War
This series is always excellent and such a treat from the commercial videos we have here. BBC and Public TV have done an excellent job.

John's Opinion
Saw the last two episodes from the 5th season on the PBS station. Went out/on line and purchased all five sets! Foyle's War is technically and historically accurate. The actors are superb as are the stories. Never really guested who done it. There are generally multiple stories in each episode to keep your attention. Wish there were more series. All sets are excellent. I have watched them all now several times and will continue to do so.

Would recommend them highly to anyone with a bit of the history, mystery buff in them.
