Foyle's War - Fifty Ships / Among the Few [2002]

Product Information

How could he have let this guy get away with what he did? It must be that he has an academic brain that he doesn't know how to use properly! It's been a good run for Sarah and I and I think we are both very rooted. I went on tour with Pete Postlethwaite when I was 16 and I knew I didn't want fame or celebrity, I just wanted respect from my peers. Sarah is based in America now and she has just done an episode of NYPD Blue." Tom has enjoyed a long and successful career on stage and screen. He starred as tough cop Harry Naylor in Between The Lines, and his other many credits include The Manageress, City Central, Liverpool One and Cause of Death on television, and the films Land Girls, A Fish Called Wanda and Morality Play. He plays a detective inspector in the forthcoming new Poirot films. Although the beautiful countryside seems far away from the glory of the front, Foyle's battle is an ordinary struggle against everyday evil - in extraordinarily dangerous times. Milner started working for Foyle (Michael Kitchen) after losing a leg while fighting at Trondheim. As he feels more settled and valued, he begins to accept his disability.

David has extensive credits on both stage and screen. His television work includes Bertie and Elizabeth, Happy Birthday Shakespeare, Oliver Twist, In The Red, Plotlands, Jake's Progress, Goodnight Sweetheart and To Play The King. I worked with Michael in To Play The King. He played the Prince and I was his private secretary so we worked quite closely. I really admire him and think he's one of the best actors of his generation. I like to think that we got on well - we talked all the scenes through beforehand, particularly the tough ones, so that we were coming from the same aeroplane." At the start of the episode, we see Foyle attending a funeral with his driver Samantha “Sam” Stewart. While there, he receives news of the sinking of the merchant vessel and he is immediately called to the scene. Foyle is asked to investigate the incident as it is believed that there may have been foul play involved. The ship was part of a convoy of fifty vessels that were transporting valuable supplies to the Soviet Union, hence the title of the episode. The production design, costumes and props are all meticulously crafted to capture the mood and atmosphere of the era. The attention to detail is evident in every frame, with the landscapes, fashions, and decor all adding to the immersive experience. The acting is also top-notch, with the cast delivering nuanced and convincing performances. Lucy is a real trouper, she wants and needs to see the best in everything, and she knows she will crumble under pressure unless she is positive. She wants the simple life and needs to feel happy and secure in the life that she has with her brother, Harry. But it's an uphill struggle."Our new series is set in 1940 with Foyle, Sam and Milner investigating seemingly minor crimes in and around Hastings while an epic drama is unfolding on the world stage. But the cases soon lead them down dark and dangerous paths and Foyle finds his quest for morality tested to the limit." Rex flies with Andrew Foyle and they are old school friends. He always defends Andrew and in one scene gets involved in a brawl. I was told to run into the middle of the bar, flatten Damian O'Hare and then spin around and pull off this guy who was punching Julian Ovenden. It was great. It's a dark time but hopefully the way we've developed the characters shows that within this starkness, there is light and hope, and people willing to help others. I think that appeals to a lot of people who went through the war or are going through all sorts of personal problems now."

Adds Anthony: "You can't help but bring your own personality to a character, especially when it's a new character in a new series. I like to think that I'm loyal and generous, but also driven and enthusiastic. Hopefully that comes across in Milner. I'm not loud or brash and as it turns out, neither is he.Paige is as insightful and canny as Foyle but in a Machiavellian way. He is driven by selfishness, as Foyle is driven by humanity. He belongs to the powerful industrial elite and is used to a world of winners and losers. Paige has been trained to be a winner and he is willing to tread on people." Fifty Ships is set in September 1940 and explores America's crucial co-operation with Britain and the beginning of Lend-Lease. It also encompasses the widespread problem of looting; and the landing of poorly equipped, ill-prepared German agents on the English Coast.

I teach them how to act because on the whole opera singers have just been taught the music. To perform they have to be taught how to engage with the emotional weight of what they are singing. It's an organic process and I love it because they are so eager to learn. Once they can connect with an aria emotionally, it becomes more natural and less technical. There is electricity when they meet. She is ready to leave her husband for him. She touches a chord with Foyle but he won't let his feelings for her come to life again because of his love for his wife.
