I am a great fan of Foyle's War and own some of the DVDs. This first series will put Foyle into a situation which can be viewed as almost unbearably devious and one doesn't know who are the real traitors within MI5 - MI6. I lived in London as from 1944 until the VIs and V2s started raining on Sth London and we, my mother and I went back to my grandfather's home in Liverpool until the end of the war. I remember the rationing very well, and I can assure you that London was bombed badly, and bomb sites still apparent everywhere.
Most people were not aware of the activities of spies or MI5 or MI6. Nor the political post war social scenes. Now we know what was going on with the Burgess and MacClane sagas etc., The Imitation Game, Russian defectors etc. The development of the atom bomb by the Russians. The Iron Curtain and division of West and East Berlin. However it is nice to have Honeysuckle Weeks back doing her thing again and Foyle still holding onto his integrity. You'll enjoy the second series too.
