Foyle’s War is Back! Part 2
Sitting snugly on the sofa last night, reunited with the actual members of the Friday Night Foyle’s War Club (+ the Agent and Sir Plym!!) watching the latest episode of Foyle’s War was just wonderful. We all loved High Castle but we missed all our virtual members (Martha from America, MohairMK, Kitchentease, C. Nelson, Digby D, ayresorchids, Miss Peppermint and British Detectives from America) very much indeed.
If you were unable to watch it in your own countries, you can all breathe easily; Foyle’s War (even without the War) is just as fab as ever.
Unfortunately, this morning I had a bad shock.
Terry Ramsey reviewing for The Telegraph the latest episode of Foyle’s War, gives it the thumbs up. He thinks the newest series is ‘as exciting as ever‘. Hurrah!
N.B. Warning!
Please be careful. Only read this review if you have either
- a stiff whisky or
- some smelling salts
close to hand.
Mr. Ramsey goes on to write…
Foyle is…very near the top of my list of “TV Detectives I Wouldn’t Want to Get Stuck in the Pub With”

Sir Plym and I loved it!
Did you see what The Times review said? I quote the last four lines: “As always Michael Kitchen’s testudine performance – he is like a tortoise beginning to take notice – was a pleasure”
How rude to compare him to a tortoise.
Perhaps we ought to point out to the Editors that we’d write perfectly splendid reviews – you apply to The Times & I’ll do The Telegraph. I didn’t even know there was such a word as ‘testudine’. Tortoise indeed! Humph.
I just re-read your original post and noticed that Agent was present for the meeting! Extraordinary. I believe this was his first attendance – what do you attribute it to? All the New Year’s Eve dancing?
I know – it was very exciting and he enjoyed it very much!! I would love to think it was the dancing but he didn’t dance. Perhaps it was because on Sunday nights he and his cronies don’t go to the Ox and Moose.
I assume you will take the normal precaution of signing your stern letter from the Agent.
Emilio sends best wishes for 2015. Billy is eager to hear what cycling challenge you are undertaking this year and wonders if you have started serious training yet.
I’m sure my letter would carry more weight with Mr. Ramsey if I did; what an excellent suggestion! Please thank Emilio for the best wishes and make sure to return them and tell Billy I am trying to persuade the Agent that we could cycle round Ypres but he hasn’t quite seen the light yet.
I enjoyed its return immensely with a stirring G & T!
A stirring G & T sounds absolutely delicious! Happy New Year Miss Peppermint!
