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: 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 ! 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!

A Gripping Time Capsule
The mysteries are excellent. The acting is wonderful. Character development is flawlessly executed. If this were not enough, the 1940s settings and atmosphere takes me back into the lives of people who lived through the war. The historical background is also extremely well integrated with the stories. Being immersed in these films takes me into a world I did not experience, but was very much the crucible of my parents’ lives. And there is something else here too. The 1940s can often be romanticised - “our finest hour”. That it may have been, but the flaws of humanity are not swept away in the telling of the stories. We are presented, for example, with the self-serving baseness of looters, people trapped into acting against their will, officers who misuse their position of power, and the ethical conflicts created by the inability to convict profoundly corrupt men who are essential to the war effort. Foyle navigates the moral landscape with an admirable sense of decency, ably assisted by his two assistants, who are equally complex characters in their own right. We feel for them. And we are reminded that mankind does not change in essence, in different time periods. The world is portrayed in all its moral shades of grey, in wonderful settings and backdrops, and compelling plots. This is a box set I will return to frequently. There is something new to see in every viewing.

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!

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.

Spannend und auch zeitgeschichtlich interessant
Ich gebe meine Einschätzung, nachdem ich 5 Episoden sah. Ich pflege meine Rezeption mit anderen Serien abzuwechseln, z.Zt. mit der Inspector Banks Serie. Daher die Vorläufigkeit meiner Einschätzing. Mir gefallen die Handlungen, die nostalgischen Bilder mit den entsprechenden Requisiten. Deutschland wird als Feindesland fair dargestellt. Der englische Ton ist gut verständlich. Es gibt auch englische Untertitel. Mit der Bildqualität bin ich zufrieden. Ich sehe mir die DVDs mit meinem PC an.
