Detectives: Foyle

Well, not a Private Eye, but a Police Officer: Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, played by Michael Kitchen, in ITV's series Foyle's War. He's solving crimes of all sorts in Hastings during the Second World War, assisted by one-legged Detective Sergeant Paul Milner (Anthony Howell) and his driver Samantha Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks). Foyle's a very quiet, very modest character, a widower and father of a RAF pilot. I love the details Kitchen put into his part, but when doing this video found it hard to show such a rather quiet and modest character instead of an outgoing, vain fellow like Poirot or an eccentric like Holmes ...

The series was created by Anthony Horowitz, who once was one of the writers of Robin of Sherwood.

Anothny Horowitz created this guy, huh? I didn't know that. I'll have to go look him up know.

You're a life saver--I've just run out of books to read! Thanks! :D

I don't think there are Foyle novels, Horowitz invented the character for the telly. He wrote a few of the Poirot scripts as well.

So, nothing for you to read, I'm afraid. But there's always a next book, isn't it? =)

DCS Foyle is in my opinion the perfect example of how a real man should look and act like; Love him and his charming cheek-biting:)

Thanks for this--I find that when I want to introduce friends to the character, this is a succinct and classy means of doing so. Great choice of music, too. I'm in agreement with the poster who wishes Horowitz had written Foyle novels!

Hello, my name's Foyle,..I'm a police officer. Hello my name's Micheal Kitchen & I'm one of the most sublime but scandalously underrated actors that Britain has ever produced.
