Goofs:
Factual errors: Captain Boothroyd is a naval officer with a moustache. In the Royal Navy, officers were (and still are) allowed either to be clean-shaven or else to have a "full set" (beard and moustache). A moustache on its own is *not* permitted.

Quotes:
Samantha Stewart:
[Sam has just survived a timebomb explosion while on a walk in the woods] I have to say it was the last thing I was expecting. Would you realise it was the third time I've been blown up.
Christopher Foyle: Can't say I was counting.
Samantha Stewart: The first one was the pub and then the jerry dropped a bomb on my house, and now this! I was only going for a walk in the woods, seems nowhere safe these days.
Christopher Foyle: And you saw what?
Samantha Stewart: Two youths, they were both about 18, I'd say. One was tall and had dark hair and his name was Terry. I heard the other one call out him.

Far from disappointing is this well scripted episode of FOYLE'S WAR: CASUALTIES OF WAR, in which Foyle is caught up in a visit from a young woman (his niece) whom he hasn't seen in ten years and her young son who refuses to talk after a bombing at his school kills many of his classmates and teachers. MICHAEL KITCHEN is again in good form as Foyle and the supporting cast does fine ensemble work.
Thrown into the mix are several other sub-plots, the one involving espionage and top secret classified work being the most interesting and the way it's resolved is explored in a satisfactory way.
Nitpicking aside, it's true that those working on highly classified information would hardly be working in the kind of unguarded shack displayed here, but the story involving the clever woman and the cunning way she disposes of her husband is absorbing and well done.
An appealing performance by the young boy helps a great deal, and most of the other roles are filled by very capable British actors.
Summing up: The resolution is a bit downbeat but the story moves at a quick pace and makes an entertaining treat.
