Scottish Conan Guy was so taken with the show he managed to have on Ms Weeks
about a year ago. Regrettably, he could not get Mr. Kitchen on the program.

Subject: [TV orNotTV] In praise of Foyle's War
I just watched the (presumably) final series, the second series focused on life
in London during the Cold War. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep making
two or three episodes every year or so, as long as Kitchen, Weeks, and the
creative team behind the show want to do it. But I suspect the show has run its
course. If you haven't seen High Castle, Trespass, or Elise, they are each
unique, gripping stories of suspense and gentle humor. I've admired Michael
Kitchen since he played the king in "House of Cards," and enjoyed his turn as
Tanner in the Bond franchise. He can do more with a single look than most
actors can do with a page of dialogue. And Honeysuckle Weeks (whose name is
second only to Benedict Cumberbatch) turned a simple babbling blonde stereotype
into a fully formed character that matured into much more than she was.
Other UK shows get all the buzz and recognition, but Foyle's War endured for a
decade telling compelling stories with gentle subtlety and even gentler
optimism. They deserve credit for that.
