Foyle's War: Set Six

The "new" Foyle's War
For those wondering what this is: It's the continuation of the series, post war. Foyle is back on the job dealing with the lawlessness that plagued England as the country tried to rebuild. Still created by Anthony Horowitz and still starring Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks, this was filmed in 2009 and will air on ITV in England during April of 2010. If it is recieved as well as sets 1-5, then the series will continue to be produced. In an unprecidented move, ITV is attempting to make up for the terrible decision to cut the original series short, and end it abruptly. They are hoping it hasn't lost it's audience. The DVD will be released in August 2010.

Here is a synopsis of Series 7, (set 6).

It is June 1945 and while VE Day has been celebrated in Britain, the war continues elsewhere in the world. The immediate aftermath of war was not a time of jubilation and optimism, as had been expected. The country was exhausted and poverty-stricken, families torn apart...

Superb
This, and the preceding Foyle's War series entries, are the very best of the best. The writing is compelling and true, the production very accurate and real, the history impeccable and the acting just magnificent. It is hard to over praise this series. Not only is everything done so beautifully, but the discs include sources for more information on the background of each episode. There is such a sense of reality in these episodes. If you value accurate history and want more of why or what happened, these writers and producers are for you. The characters are so believable and the background so true, that you feel as if you are part of the events as shown. It is not often you find a production with everything at such a level of accomplishment.

Yes, this is a new set! Here are the titles.
