Don't believe the things you hear about this episode!
10 May 2007 | by (Belgium) – See all my reviews

I really don't know where people get this, but this episode was brilliant, just like all the others. It had a good story, and it even haves a bit of a cliffhanger with Foyle resigning as a DCI. I really didn't notice anything weird or less good about it and my advice is: just enjoy the episode, and don't read the other comments here 'cause they're worthless rubbish. I am looking forward to the new series, hoping they will air it this autumn or winter, and I hope it will be a good end of the war for everyone.

Foyle's War is the greatest crime series ever (coming after Midsomer Murders)!
