Why does foyle want to go to america

Will there be a Series 8? My mother loves this series and has me hooked as well. Michael Kitchen, an unknown to me previously, is the best actor around. They were there in a very young Michael. I feel bereft that the series has ended. Oh, my. Loved the entire series, but particularly The Hide. In Fifty Ships Foyle promised to bring the American to justice after the war. Well… Laurel Ann can you email me privately so I can run my take on the end by you?

A wonderful ensemble of Brittish actors, and MK is lovely. It is great that such a fine series has been so popular abroad when it has been until recently a lttle overlooked here in Britain. I think Michael Kitchen is brilliantly understated. It is about four women on vacation in Italy after the First World War. It got mixed reviews from the critics and was a bit sentimental but so what?

I loved it — both because of the great deal about the legacy of the Great War that is left unsaid and because of the great female cast. Michael Kitchen is amazing. They are so delicious, wise and elegantic. They all had enough English humour, which I like very much indeed. Of course Foyle is going to america to get the yank who stole the syncro trans invention and killed the real inventor. Thanks for the sub titles in the last set. Wish they were in Spanish too. Only one bad show in the lot.

I think Killing Time is a bit of a reach. Unbelievable start middle and end. Only other thing is how nimble Millner is with one leg. No limp at all in most shows and he actually runs into a bomb shelter in one….. Kitchen is good but now I watch these for the supporting cast and ways they take 60 years or so off the locations. Great stuff. Just watched the first 22 episodes over an extended Christmas break. So glad to have bought the actual DVDs as these will certainly be rewatched.

What an excellent series! I hope this talk of at least one more episode comes to fruition. He has some unfinished business in America.

He had to let an American go for the sake of the war effort and the American and UK alliance. Series 8 — to be or not to be, that IS the question! Hopefully there will be, otherwise many of us will find ourselves in a perpetual state of Foyle withdrawal. I hope there will be another series, but if there are any more episodes, it would mostly likely be just a one off special to finish up the 50 ships story, as most of the characters story arcs have finished.

Michael Kitchen is fantabuolus!!! I think it makes him more human…. I would be very happy to hear that they are going to make more. We should find out how he gets on in America, and see Sam and Adam get married.

Robert — many people are puzzled by this. If you read through the comments to this blog, you will find some answers. Then, watch it again, and you will understand. We are hoping Foyle comes to America to bring Mr. Paige to justice and I do hope that Foyle finds that not all Americans are as boorish as some were portrayed! Yank here. Each episode leads into some discussion of her childhood and memories of that time.

It is not necessary that James be his son for him to have taken the steps that he did. I do expect a final episode, and hope the wait is not too long! I have to agree with you immensely! My mom and I watched this series together, and while she insists that James is his son, I insist that he is not.

You summed up my feeling completely with this post. Foyle pursuing final justice cries out as a story to be told. I have to agree Steve, but no word on the series continuing yet. It may never happen — or we might get lucky. How can this series be over? It was such an intelligent program with engrossing characters and plots. Please tell me that either we will go forward to America or back to more stories of England during the war years! I agree with GuyB that Foyle would have acted as he did out of obligation to Caroline alone but the question of James being his son is very interesting.

I would be happy to have the private comments on this as well. Michael Kitchen is absolutely one of the best actors to come along in years! Andrew Foyle seems to have vanished after vowing to keep working on Sam until she falls in love with him again. I hope so!! I sincerely hope that Mr. Horowitz strongly considers producing a Series 8.

The series was outstanding, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the last three episodes because I felt Sam and Andrew were meant to be together at the end or maybe the end was originally supposed to be the VE day episode. The clinchers for me are two. Foyle balks, as we know he will, but we also know that his rendezvous with the trout—or whatever they fish for in Hastings—is about to be postponed indefinitely. Spy stuff is what she was born for. The problem she wishes to discuss with Foyle is the possible theft of atomic weapons-related secrets by Russian spies.

At this point, fans of Foyle might decide the setup is a bit contrived. Trying to convince us let alone to convince Foyle that Sam has turned traitor is like trying to convince Superman that Lois Lane is secretly in love with Lex Luthor. You know Morse at his core is a wounded child who needs a good cuddle and Jericho is a man trying to escape his past, but Foyle is a sphinx. That is what makes him interesting to me. Michael Kitchen plays Foyle as the stern teacher you half admire, half fear; whose approval you can never quite win no matter how hard you try.

Is she cut out to be the wife of a Labour MP, though? Even the best shows clunk, on occasion, become repetitive or veer outlandish — sometimes for entire seasons. But Horowitz and his team, including and especially stars Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks, have neither flagged nor faltered. As a critic, I watch it because it is so unbelievably good at what it does, and I never tire of trying to figure out why, exactly.

The world met Det. Chief Supt. A World War I veteran, Foyle knows the horrors of battle, but he longs to join the war effort only to be told repeatedly he is needed on the homefront, more specifically the charming coastal town of Hastings.

Which is, of course, roiling with crime, war-related and otherwise. Aided by his young driver Sam Weeks and, in early seasons, his sergeant Paul Milner Anthony Howell , Foyle takes on foes of every type — Nazis, anthrax, looters, black-marketeers, spies, corrupt British officials, you name it — in stories that remain vividly true to the times while showcasing a wide variety of modern social issues, including homophobia, racism and domestic assault.

The final three, if final they be, deal with, among other things, international oil interests, anti-Semitism, terrorism, consumerism and the long reach of war. Although its U. Though other detectives and lead characters twist and shuffle through addiction, attraction, corruption and a generally fluid morality, Christopher Foyle doggedly remains a fixed point in an uncertain universe.

In recent seasons, Sam has played an increasing role in the narrative, growing from sprightly enthusiasm to self-assured and competent adulthood; in Season 8, she is as big a player as Foyle. The series both revolves around and ignores its main character.

Several early seasons deal with him as the father of a young pilot, but otherwise we know little of his personal life. He likes to fly fish; he is a widower who deeply loved his wife. Occasionally there is a flicker of interest in a woman never, mercifully, Sam or the memory of an early romance.

But Foyle is who he is: a good solid detective. Simple words, and common enough, but no one does more with them than Kitchen.
