Foyle is discredited, when he's deemed too clever for a sensitive investigation.
It's a very different format, Foyle so forthright and noble, it's almost offensive for the viewer to see him suffer any form of attack. It does allow Milner to take centre stage.
There has never been a bad or even average episode of Foyle's War, and The Funk Hole is another terrific example of why this show is so loved, and why people are desperate for its return.
Masses of research must have been done, as the show explores all of the many different crimes that went on, as the country was at war. It's informative as well, I had no idea what a Funk Hole was up until seeing this, what a fascinating story, the idea of people living in relative comfort in areas away from the war.
This episode is awash with terrific actors, Nicholas Farrell is a monster as Collier. Joanna David and Phoebe Nicholls both give us great characters.
Excellent. 9/10
