Proper drama. Foyle's War, S1E3, A Lesson in Murder. At the very end, ca 1:34.

They are Italians who have lived in England for many years. Yesterday Italy declared war. The mob burned down their restaurant in the night: these people are enemies now. Tony's father died in the fire.

Tony, the immigrant who had just signed up to join the British army to fight Hitler, and who had asked Samantha whether she would write to him, sits at the bench below the town's war memorial, the burned-down house behind him. He gets up to speak to Foyle.

Tony Luciano: "What sort of world is this, Mr Foyle?"

[Foyle's face shows pain, he remains speechless but he nods.]

Tony walks away.

Samantha Stewart calls after him, "Tony ...", but he does not look back.

Samantha Stewart to Foyle: "I don't know what to say."

Foyle (barely audible), his face still distorted in pain: "Neither do I."

Re-watching Foyle's War. (In the UK, currently available free on ITV).

Impeccable. Flawless. Most TV pieces age, some fast, some gradually, and when we re-watch them 5, 10, 20 years later, they are ... a bit embarrassing. We ask ourselves who we were when we saw them and enjoyed them when they first showed.

Not here. Foyle's War is still as fresh today as when it was shown first.

Chiefly, of course, because of the wonderful Michael Kitchen, the true master of the raised eyebrow.

Friends told us about #FoylesWar and we’ve been enjoying it. The show had a rocky start but soon joined out regular viewing line up. The total lack of Black people is an issue for me and in season 7, we have an episode focused on Black soldiers. Let’s see how it does for a 2013 show.

The latest TV show binge. It’s actually quite good and perfect to watch while drinking my tea.

@eecastro Great show! Have watched through a couple times over the years, and just started again. 3 episodes in and it is hitting even harder than it did a few years ago. Should be required viewing. #FoylesWar

It's a bit meh or sad there's only 1 tagged post for Kenneth Colley here, when he was such a prominent figure even in Star Wars.

Jesus in the Life of Brian, guys. My pics are from 2015's #LFCC. A privilege, of course.

When British television had the guts to be more cinematic and visual...
Gorgeous composition and framing in one of the greatest English series of all time, "Foyle's War".

Feeling like it’s the end of an era tonight.
Just finished the finale of #FoylesWar, a bittersweet moment I feel like I rarely have anymore. Every other night the past two months, it’s been: Eight series, 28 mini-movies, ingenious crime plotting, wartime era. Can’t believe it took us 20 years to discover, but I’ll cherish the delay.
