Mystery! (which is now part of Masterpiece Theater) is shown several times a year on PBS stations. My husband and I have watched the various mystery series through the years (Poroit, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse, etc.) and we enjoy almost all of them! This Sunday the last episode of Inspector Lewis will show. Inspector Lewis was Inspector Morse’s sidekick and now has his own show! The shows I’m waiting for though in this series of Mystery! are Foyle’s War and Inspector Lynley.
Foyle’s War returns on July 13 for Series V (three episodes–July 13, 20 and 27) and the last for this show. If you haven’t watched Foyle’s War search for earlier episodes or jump in and watch these episodes and then find those earlier episodes!
This is a World War II series taking place in England about DCS (Detective Chief Inspector) Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) who would rather be fighting the war with the military, but instead must stay and fight crime on the home front.
Writer Anthony Horowitz says: “The war adds another dimension for Foyle — a personal crusade to fight crime when values and morality are shaken up and all of Europe is engaged in killing. These aren’t ‘war stories,’ yet the turmoil of those years allows us to explore a rich variety of storylines.”
Amazon carries the DVDs for the prior seasons and each is very good. My library also has them and I have checked them out and watched ones I missed on PBS.
