Excellent as ever

Stephen Dawson from London, 28th January, 2005

These two episodes form the first and second in the second series of the drama set on the south coast of England during 1940. 'Fifty Ships' opens dramatically with a bombing raid, and as a result Sam is looking for somewhere to live. An American multi-millionaire working to get fifty US ships transferred to the British Navy is visiting Hastings during his visit to Britain. A dead body is discovered on a beach nearby. In 'Among The Few', a lorry Foyle is chasing crashes and its illegal cargo of petrol bursts into flames. Sam persuades Foyle to let her go undercover at the local fuel depot to investigate. Both episodes continue the sparkle of series one, and despite being entirely watchable as stand-alone stories, continue to develop the core characters.

Always worth watching again ... and again ...

A Customer from Hertfordshire, 13th April, 2005

Beautifully acted and always worth watching again to see the strands of the plot neatly tying themselves together, with Michael Kitchen's splendidly understated acting conveying everything he needs to with a look.

Another Brilliant Episode of Foyles War

A Customer from Cheshire England, 8th June, 2008

Michael Kitchen is once again totally 'Foyle' His understated acting is truly brilliant. This story if Fifty Ships depicts the era of war so brilliantly . The American student up to his neck cheating on his fellow student - the Secret Service balancing the lesser of two evils and Foyle's once time romance-What more could you want?.......
