Foyle's War Season 1 Episodes
Season 1 Episode Guide
8 Episodes 2002 - 2002
Set during the early days of World War II, Season 1 of the mystery series opens with Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen), a veteran of World War I, returning to work in Hastings, along Britain's southern coast, after being rebuffed in his effort to transfer to the War Department. Due to a shortage of male police officers, young Samantha "Sam" Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks) is transferred from the Mechanised Transport Corps to serve as his driver, though her talents stretch far beyond steering; and Sgt. Paul Milner (Anthony Howell), a war veteran seriously wounded during Britain's ill-fated Norway campaign, soon assists him. Foyle's son Andrew (Julian Ovendon), an RAF pilot, also plays a pivotal role in several cases. Among the mysteries: the murder of a magistrate's German wife; the death of a hotel owner at a gathering of fascist sympathizers; the death of a conscientious objector while in police custody; and the murder of a local lorry driver.
