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.

This is a very elaborately crafted website which belies its contents which, for the large part are vacuous and self absorbed. Foyle’s War is a well written, entertaining and compelling drama and is popular for many reasons. Michael Kitchen is a skilled actor - it is harder to act constraint before a camera than you realise - and damning him on this showing is lazy. I will watch Foyle’s War again and be entertained by it. I will not visit this website again.

Ah, in retrospect I was probably a little harsh in the above piece. Watching the filming was every bit as cold and wet as described, but I missed out the bit about it being rather exciting (can one simultaneously experience boredom and fascination? I contain multitudes). And I was genuinely disappointed not to meet Mr Kitchen, who, while not being my favourite actor, never fails to amuse. I’ve since seen complete episodes of Foyle’s War and find it the kind of pleasant Sunday night comfort food ITV excel at.

I have watched all Foyle’s War episodes bar one and it is a wonderful series, thought provoking and very evocative of another era and Kitchen is superb in it. I am Nigerian by the way and live in Lagos, Nigeria so I don’t have any particular sentimental attachment to either the period or the cultural setting but still find the series and Kitchen’s potrayal of the enigmatic Mr. Foyle to be a wonderful piece of theatre and poignant. That said, one can still be bored watching filming and you are entitled to your views about Kitchen and the Foyle’s War series although I would think you would want to watch an entire episode first to be truly on point. I wish I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Kitchen, I’d just want to shake his hand. Africa gets no joy by way of these things.

Gosh, you really were cheesed off weren’t you, Mr Brockhurst. I’m sorry that you had such a miserable time in Midhurst; I do hope that you have better luck on your next visit to a shoot. I have to say that I’m somewhat surprised that you consider Michael Kitchen “a rubbish, utterly immobile actor.” The Foyle character requires some playing down; it’s the nature of the man to be reserved and rather melancholy, but he has his livelier moments, which, if you’d watched more of the series, you would have seen. The pictures you display are all posed “Foyle’s War” publicity photographs and so show the serious Foyle. As for Mr Kitchen himself, most reviewers appear to consider him to be an actor of remarkable talent, many commenting on his ability to say more with the raising of an eyebrow than many other actors can say in the reciting of long speeches. Do please take a look at “Reckless”, a TV series written by Paul Abbott and made in the 1990s, or the wonderful “Alibi”, also by Abbott and written especially with Mr Kitchen in mind for the main role, and you’ll see what they mean.

Foyle’s War is a great series that gets a bad press from trendy types who describe it as “gentle”. An odd sort of description for a show set in the middle of a war. Mind you, how it can survive without the war is a bit of a mystery. ‘Foyle’s Peace’ doesn’t have the same ring, in fact it sounds a bit rude. Still I’m glad it’s back as it was only cancelled because Cyril Shaps’ son didn’t like it. Sounds a bit random I know but he was in charge of ITV drama or something at the time but now he’s gone.
