1 Invasion

1/14/06

April 1942. Cultures clash as the first Americans arrive to build an airfield near Hastings. Some locals see the "invaders" as a threat. Others find the chance for romance among the young Gis. But when a barmaid turns up strangled. Foyle's investigation strains British-American relations to the breaking point.

2 Bad Blood

August 1942. Helping a colleague from a nearby town probe the murder of a war hero, Foyle confronts a deeper—and potentially deadlier—mystery. A top-secret experiment in biological warfare goes horribly wrong, claiming the victim's widow and threatening the life of Foyle's driver.

About this show

Combining uncompromising historical accuracy with compelling mysteries, this original PBS Masterpiece Theatre mystery series stars Michael Kitchen (Out of Africa) as Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle. Set in the beautiful southern English countryside amid the disorder and danger of World War II, Foyle's War takes place far from the glory of the front. His is an ordinary struggle-against everyday evil-in extraordinarily dangerous times.
