Featured review
The consistency and quality of Foyle's War episodes never ceases to amaze me, having re-watched the series I was struck in particular by the quality of this episode. What an interesting story, one which many like myself, have never contemplated. A group of English people, sympathisers of the Nazis plan, and prepare for the arrival of the invading German Army.
Hard to contemplate anyone enthusiastically anticipating invasion, but this story deals with exactly that, and the murder of a sympathiser. The performances are fantastic throughout, of the guest cast, Charles Dance gives a superb performance, loaded with charisma and presence, he adds so much, his scenes with Kitchen are brilliant. Huge praise also for Maggie Steed, for making her character so utterly detestable.
Quality writing from Anthony Horowitz, superb acting, what's not to utterly love about this episode.

Rosemary Harwood: [Angrily] You're going through a lady's room? No gentleman would behave this way.
Det. Supt. Christopher Foyle: You know, you're right, but then again murder isn't a very gentlemanly business, Miss Harwood.
