This collectable boxed set features every episode of the acclaimed television series, along with a rich array of behind-the-scenes features, cast and crew interviews and so much more. Michael Kitchen is Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle, a hardworking, policeman in Hastings during the Second World War. Anxious to join the war effort, he has repeatedly had his applications turned down and has returned to the South Coast sidelined and frustrated; but it soon becomes apparent that his detective skills are vitally needed on the Home Front. As each series progresses through the War, the seventh and most recent finds, at one war’s end, that a new war is beginning, one much darker and indistinct than the first; a war that doesn’t officially exist – a Cold War. This boxed set contains: Series 1: The German Woman The White Feather A Lesson in Murder Eagle Day Series 2: Fifty Ships Among the Few War Games The Funk Hole Series 3: The French Drop Enemy Fire They Fought in the Fields A War of Nerves Series 4: Invasion Bad Blood Bleak Midwinter Casualties of War Series 5: Plan of Attack Broken Souls All Clear Series 6: The Russian House Killing Time The Hide Series 7: The Eternity Ring The Cage Sunfl ower (Sub-title available) Series 8: High Castle Trespass Elise Subtitled. NOTE: Subtitles are available only for Disc 7 & 8. Review: Love and war - This is one of my best films throughout. Good for people over 15ys. Review: Marvellous ! - Excellent series. Visually the remastering did not seem to have massively improved things. Is there no plans for a blu-ray edition? Highly recommend this collection though, great acting, scripts and storylines!

Good quality - avoid cheaper copies.
Great set. Bought these to replace a cheaper set from eBay that wouldn’t load properly. No problems with these and they arrived promptly in perfect condition. Recommend !

High Quality WW2 Home-front Series
I had only previously seen bits of Foyles Law on TV re-runs but recently saw a complete episode. So I decided to buy the whole series. Having watched 4 episodes, I can only say that I am delighted with this purchase. The stories are carefully crafted and unrushed, the casting of the 3 main characters is nigh-on perfect and the production values are top-notch. This set is of superb value - in effect, 28 feature-length films. The 'economy packaging' is fine by me and the set takes up very little bookshelf space. The setting, on the UK home front in WW2, is just up my street, having been born just 3 years after the war ended. One minor criticism is that the sub-titles are auto-generated, with reasonably frequent mistakes, but I can live with that. Overall, highly recommended viewing for people of my generation or for anyone interested in the history of that period.

Excellente série en V.O.
Une série anglaise sur la période de la seconde guerre mondiale et sur le début de la période de la guerre froide. Les acteurs sont excellents, les épisodes bien construits, les intrigues bien faites et une touche d'humour en prime. A déguster sans modération!

My Favorite British Police Show
I love Foyle's War; it is my favorite British police show. Set during the time from just before England entered WWII until shortly after the war ended, it seems to keep to an accurate time line of the war while following DCS Foyle through a variety of crimes, both war related and otherwise. Being in the US, I was a bit nervous about ordering this set in case it wouldn't play on my player. I understand that some US bound sets don't contain the entire program but shortened versions. I wanted every minute. Fortunately, the DVD player I use is set for any zone so I get every minute of every episode. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys seeing criminals being caught and put in jail. This is an excellent show and excellent DVD series. The best.

Excellent in all respects
One of the best English detective series. Great intertwining of detective stories and the war and post war theme. Beautiful cinematography and great acting.
