Thank you Sir, for your greetings. May I ask what you might be thinking of rubbishing in the new year, for our entertainment?
Will it be the new “Girl with Dragon Tattoo” film (USA version)
The Christmas “Downton Abbey” ITV
“The Killing” BBC4 ….(we love this!)
or something completely unexpected? As the Yanks say quite peculiarly…Happy Holiday.

May I just say how heartwarming it is that my grumpy piece on filming Foyle’s War two-and-a-half years ago still seems to be bringing people together after so long? Merry Christmas Michael Kitchen fans, Merry Christmas!

Well done Anna, hope you enjoyed Foyle’s war. Are we agreed then that Mr.Brockhurst is a rubbish reviewer and we could do a much better job?
Only joking…Best wishes to you Mr.Brockhurst, I wish you a happy Christmas.

So, here we are… time is 9.10 pm on a Saturday night ( on the west coast of Canada ) and I have a date with Foyle’s War ~ two DVD’s borrowed from the library.. A Lesson In Murder and The White Feather. Hot chocolate ( Dagoba Unsweetened) accompanying.

Well, nice to hear that you did like Downton Abbey, we think they picked a superb cast, but I must say that we do like Honeysuckle Weeks and Michael Kitchen equally. Sometimes the people who pick the cast for Dramas are spot on, we’ve been watching re-runs of ‘Band of Brothers’ and the cast in that is excellent too, I think it was made in America so the choice of British actor Damien Lewis for the star part was inspired.

I think Michael Kitchen is really cute.

Well, my grumpy, tongue-in-cheek thing on Foyle’s War seems to have elicited more response than anything else on here! Oh well.

Lilian: Despite being another ITV drama (from which anyone in their right mind would surely run away screaming), I’ve enjoyed Downton Abbey a great deal. It’s certainly in a different league to Foyle’s War.

And another thing…I bet you don’t like ‘ Downton Abbey’ either, so what do you like?

Oh dear Mr. Brockhurst, what a miserable person you are. Foyle’s War is one of the best programmes made and the whole cast are wonderful. We can do without your lousy reviews, thank you!

The winner of the day was surely Michael Kitchen who was spared your miserable presence. I’d find something else to do Mr Brockhurst given your negative attitude and poor attempt to be either funny or ironic. We are all entitled to an opinion, it’d be nice if you kept yours to yourself, if you can’t, I’ve made a mental note to avoid reading such drivel from you. My opinion, with millions of others, is that Foyle’s War is a fine programme that was quite rightly resurrected following strong support from people who appreciate a quality programme irrespective of how long it may take to film scenes.

What a drag with hang ups you must be! Sorry, that’s the impression…

Mr. Brockhurst, you are CRAZY for not waiting to see Michael Kitchen in person! I live in California (FAR from Hastings) and I can only imagine how cool it would be to be on the Foyle’s War set. Your pictures of Michael Kitchen’s range of expressions cracked me up, as did your video of the set in the rain. My favorite Michael Kitchen movies are The Hanging Gale and Alibi. Granted he’s not big on the dramatic expressions but his manner and voice are absolutely addictive. My husband has been very patient sitting with me through all episodes of Foyle’s War and many of Kitchen’s movies. Maybe you just need to kick back and enjoy more of his performances!

I just finished watching the third of the seventh series – and counting my lessings to hear there will be a seventh. As a theatre and communications professor, I am critical of untalented acting and mindless television series – neither of which applies to Michael Kitchen or Foyle’s War. If you think Mr. Kitchen dull or the show a mere insomnia cure, I wonder what you consider worth watching. Certainly little that is turned out in American television – althouh we do have a few shows that rise above mindless popular culture, I can think of none that better Foyle’s War. So, like Amanda Wooster, I’ll be looking forward to viewing more of Christopher Foyle, and probably will noto be revisiting this site.

Oh dear. Colin you seem to have immobilised something terrifying from the depths…..the ire of the ITV serial watcher. That literate but voracious breed that consume such wonderments as Foyle’s War, Heartbeat, The Royal and myriad other occasionally entertaining insomnia cures that television seems to churn out. As for Mr B being “Vacuous and self absorbed”…..How very dare you madam. Colin is a charmingly unselfish man, polite, funny and modest. I am quite sure no one will miss your unneccesarily ascerbic and personal comments. Good day Madam and don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.
