How brilliant of C Nelson aka Port City Dreamer to initiate the conversation with Anthony Horowitz, the script writer for Foyle’s War. I am extremely proud to say that Port City Dreamer is a virtual member of our the International Friday Night Foyle’s War Club!
In lieu of a more tangible gift of appreciation, the Club Committee would formally like to extend our sincere thanks to both Port City Dreamer and Anthony Horowitz for this exciting bit of info – it has made our week!

DI Milner does not appear in this episode. (source: Wikipedia)
*N.B. The Episode categorisation is a complete muddle – The I.F.N.F.W.C. Committee has decided for clarity’s sake to categorise each episode as it is named on the ‘Foyle’s War: The Complete Collection’ dvd disc set. Wikipedia however, categorises ‘Killing Time‘ as Episode 2, Series 7
Dialogue from this episode: (source: www.imbd.com)
Harry Delmont: Sorry things didn’t go your way, Foyle.
Christopher Foyle: Well, that’s democracy for you!
Oh, how I admire DCS Foyle’s philosophical approach to life!
Yours, in absentia,
I have never watched Foyles War, despite harbouring a rather inappropriate crush on Horowitz. Am thinking if you are into it enough to have a club for watching, perhaps I should get in on the act?
Thanks for linking up with #WeekendBlogHop!
Oh it would be lovely to welcome you as our newest member of the Friday Night Foyle’s War Club – I’d be thrilled if you joined us! I now have a rather inappropriate crush on Mr. Horowitz too, after the excitement of his tweet about new episodes!
& thank you too for linking up with #WeekendBlogHop – isn’t it a great way to meet fellow Bloggers!
I absolutely loved this post. Really made me smile. And I love the illustrations. Feeling a bit stupid that I cant comment properly on Foyle’s war because I don’t watch it!
Thank you for linking up with the #WeekendBlogHop
Laura 🙂
Oh thank you so much Laura for dropping by and saying such nice things! And a big thank you too for the #WeekendBlogHop linking; I’m really enjoying meeting you all virtually!
You mean to say that the Agent abandoned his standing Friday night Ox and Moose commitment? This is barely credible!
I know – I bet you can imagine the fuss he made. He couldn’t get out of it as it was the wedding of a colleague!
