By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and the wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable programme to a new high. "A Lesson in Murder" concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war hovers over everything and a home-front crisis makes heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh

I am biased, I always enjoy Foyle's War but these are two particularly fine episodes. A Lesson in Murder is particularly good with a balanced and fair portrayal of conscientous objectors with a welcome appearance by a pre-Doctor David Tennant. As always in both episodes the plot progresses with slow twists and turns until the unexpected denouement. Eagle Day has some magnificent Spitfire flying sequences. As always one ends up with a sneaking sympathy for the eventual murderer - their actions while wrong are understandable. They are both a good hour and a half's entertainment and will allow you to forget 2010 for a while and immerse yourself in WW2.

Whatever moron at ITV decided to axe this series needs the sack (if they haven't already had it). One of the best observed period drama series on telly with brilliant acting by all. We NEED good drama on TV. TV will soon flounder if all we have to watch are these so called reality shows. Bring back Foyles War!
