Product Information

Africa - The series began broadcasting in 2009 on the pay service DStv (broadcast from South Africa) on the Universal Channel. [13] I've worked with Michael Kitchen before and I enjoyed the filming. It was very relaxed and the crew were very experienced." We were taught to foxtrot but it didn't come naturally to me. I really enjoyed it in the end, though, and feel proud that I can foxtrot now. I did New Year's Day, a feature with him which was my big break. I played the lead and Michael was one of the supporting actors. It was a film that took me all around the world and I felt like a kid alongside Michael. This time, I felt like an adult at last." The relationship and sense of trust between Christopher Foyle and his son Andrew is tested when Foyle learns details of Andrew’s secretive sexual relationship with (and "engagement" to) Dewar's friend Violet Davies. Foyle again "bends the rules" in deference to the needs of wartime by allowing Talbot, who has confessed to accidentally causing Dewar's death, to lead the squadron on one last sortie (in which he is killed), and then consoles his own son afterwards by praising Talbot as a good man.

It's a dark time but hopefully the way we've developed the characters shows that within this starkness, there is light and hope, and people willing to help others. I think that appeals to a lot of people who went through the war or are going through all sorts of personal problems now." Paige is as insightful and canny as Foyle but in a Machiavellian way. He is driven by selfishness, as Foyle is driven by humanity. He belongs to the powerful industrial elite and is used to a world of winners and losers. Paige has been trained to be a winner and he is willing to tread on people."Writing is intelligent, sophisticated and thought-provoking, establishing Foyle's personality with so much depth already and providing some tense and heart-tugging moments. Oh and there are a couple of juicy comeuppances here for the characters one appropriately hates by the end of the episode. The story is complicated, with a lot of strands that requires full attention, but clever and from start to finish intriguing. It paces itself deliberately but with so much going on it's never once dull and the twists and turns that slowly unfold keep coming until the typically surprising denouement. It was amazing to get such a great reaction. I think it's the mood of the whole series and the way it's presented. There's some incredible detail, such as when Sam gets made homeless because the house where she's staying is bombed. I'm sure it must have happened to a lot of people and the details of all those facets of life in the war make it very real. When the body of local alcoholic Richard Hunter is found on the beach in 1940, it is first thought that it was suicide. However Foyle discovers that Hunter was an Oxford graduate and at university he made acquaintance with an American student Howard Paige who subsequently became rich by inventing a special type of car gearbox. Paige just happens to be in town involved in secret negotiations with the British government to pave way for American involvement in the war. David has extensive credits on both stage and screen. His television work includes Bertie and Elizabeth, Happy Birthday Shakespeare, Oliver Twist, In The Red, Plotlands, Jake's Progress, Goodnight Sweetheart and To Play The King. Happily, Emily found warmer conditions for her latest job. "I'm working on an art house film called My Summer of Love. It's my first feature and I am playing one of two girls who befriend each other. It's a beautiful film."

After five series, Foyle's War was cancelled abruptly by ITV director of programmes Simon Shaps. [7] This forced Horowitz to discard scripts set during most of 1943 and 1944, resulting in time jumps of nine months to a year between episodes; previous series had gaps of a month at most. In April 2008, the presumed final episode, "All Clear" (during which the end of the war is announced) was broadcast. I'm also in Reversals for ITV1, playing the head of the medical school in Manchester who finds himself falling in lust with the woman doctor who comes to see him - but unfortunately this is really Marc Warren in drag!"ways."He is very wealthy and wears tailored camel suits and he's charming and attractive on the outside. His style and richness is an irritant against the rough hessian world of Britain in the 1940s. What is interesting about the 40s is that we needed the Americans to win the war, so we had to inherit some of their tough mentality. It was very tough filming in Rumania. Eastern Europe in the middle of winter is no fun and I have never felt that cold. The cast and crew glued ourselves together to make it work." One night, while Foyle is dining with his one-time love Elizabeth, a local man, Richard Hunter, the father of one of the suspected looters, dies on the beach from a single gunshot to the head. Many think his death is suicide - he was, after all, a hopeless, bitter alcoholic. But Foyle isn't so sure. The German spy also provides the key information that enables Foyle to figure out how the spy got to be landed on that particular beach -- although it was not the spy's intention to reveal that fact.

My character Jane does very little apart from going to Haute Couture fashion shows, reading magazines, or hunting, shooting and fishing. She's a bit of a 'Sloane'. I had a great costume designer and we got hold of some authentic clothes from the period.I also have an agent in America and I am going out to Los Angeles for a holiday and a bit of work - I'd just like to see what it's like out there." Award-winning actor Alan Howard relished playing a barrister with a complicated past in Foyle's War.

To perform they have to be taught how to engage with the emotional weight of what they are singing. It's an organic process and I love it because they are so eager to learn. Once they can connect with an aria emotionally, it becomes more natural and less technical.

Foyle's War is a British drama series set during World War II, where Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle solves crimes that have been complicated by the war. The second season of the show is made up of four episodes, with each episode focusing on a different case. I don't often play the good guys or conventional types but I like playing men who are slightly damaged or have an edge," he says.
