Amazon.co.uk Review

The latest DVD release from the rightly-popular Foyle’s War, this again gives Michael Kitchen’s title character a couple of juicy cases to feast his not inconsiderable sleuthing talents upon.

Foyle’s War, of course, differentiates itself a little from the ocean of other detective programmes by setting itself in Hastings, in the middle of World War II. There, Christopher Foyle finds himself solving crimes in part caused by the confusion and calamity of the surrounding war.

This DVD set then brings together a pair of episodes originally broadcast towards the start of 2007. "Bleak Midwinter" starts with the death of one Grace Phillips, an incident originally written off as an accident at a munitions factory, but one that Foyle links to another case and consequently finds his suspicions aroused. "Casualties Of War", meanwhile, brings Foyle’s God-daughter to his doorstep, along with her son. But a disappearance, gambling and acts of sabotage also require attention.

Running to over three hours, these two episodes of Foyle’s War are played well, diligently put together and enjoyable to watch. Relying less on frills and more on good, traditional stories told by a talented cast, they show Foyle’s War to be an evergreen piece of television drama, and make this DVD release a fine investment. --Jon Foster

5.0 out of 5 stars Foyles War Review, 10 Sep 2009
By Barbara Philips "barbie doll" (NSW AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We were thrilled to get these two Episodes as we now have the complete set. It is a Series we have enjoyed more than any other series on the BBC.

We believe that Michael Kitchen is marvellous in the part as is Honeysuckle Weeks. It is a graphic description of what the English suffered so much in World War 2. It has intrique and mystery and some romance. Altogether a great buy. The whole series is well worth getting. Well done BBC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foyle's humanity, 9 Jul 2009
By Norval Whiite "American in France" (Roques, Gers, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Foyle's War - Bleak Midwinter / Casualties of War [DVD] [2007] Just one of the long Foyle's series, a look a the underworld among the British at War. There is a delightfully gray shading of patriotism and pseudo patriotism, sometimes with good Germans in England made victims, sometimes with actions by less than heroic Brits. It's reality rather than boosterism, and, obviously, couldn't have been made until well after the War.
