Also in Fifty Ships, the discovery of the German spy, Hans Maier, is based on true accounts of German spies in Britain ill-prepared for the job ahead.

My character Jane does very little apart from going to Haute Couture fashion shows, reading magazines, or hunting, shooting and fishing. She's a bit of a 'Sloane'. I had a great costume designer and we got hold of some authentic clothes from the period. How could he have let this guy get away with what he did? It must be that he has an academic brain that he doesn't know how to use properly! It's been a good run for Sarah and I and I think we are both very rooted. I went on tour with Pete Postlethwaite when I was 16 and I knew I didn't want fame or celebrity, I just wanted respect from my peers. Sarah is based in America now and she has just done an episode of NYPD Blue." Adds Julian: "Andrew is a great character and one of the high spots is working with Michael. I've always admired him as a terrific actor. He's demanding and a perfectionist and it's great to work with someone like that. I've learned an awful lot from him." Jane is spending the war at a country house, or 'funk hole', with her husband Blake (Adrian Lukis).Foyles War The Complete Season 7 [Region B Blu-ray by Icon]". Fishpond.com.au. 1 September 2010. Archived from the original on 3 May 2021 . Retrieved 15 May 2017. All but the last two series have been released on Blu-ray in Australia (all discs are region-free). [41] While it may appear the "complete collection" [42] box set includes seven seasons, there are only the first six series included.

This episode skillfully interweaves 4 mysteries: 1) German spy lands from submarine -- who and how? 2) items looted from blitzed houses -- who and where is loot hidden? 3) man found shot on beach -- suicide or murder? 4) obnoxious rich American has mysterious British aide -- political games afoot?

In none of these three instances did Foyle expect that the particular conversation that led to the information would produce such information -- in each case it is an accident that the information given happens to be relevant to solving a crime. But the information is quite logical to have been mentioned in these conversations, it is not artificially stuffed-into the character's mouth just to move the plot along. This is excellent quality story-craftsmanship and deserves recognition.Phoebe Nicholls had to resort to some rather drastic measures to encourage her canine co-star to perform in Foyle's War. I had to work with a dog, who is supposed to run into me in the scene. But it was one of the hottest days of the year and I was in full period dress and we had to keep redoing it because the dog wouldn't do the right thing. In the end, I had to clutch some rather smelly cheese in 100 degree heat to make him come to me!"
