Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: At one point the audience sees what is supposed to be a view through a stereoscope as it is used to pan across a pair of aerial images of some buildings. As it pans, the perspective on the buildings changes. A real stereoscope does not behave that way: The perspective in each photograph of the pair is fixed. more
Quotes:
Rev. Aubrey Stewart: So why don't you tell us what you're doing with yourself, now you've been thrown out of the police?
Samantha Stewart: I wasn't thrown out, I resigned, anyway, I can't tell you anything except that I'm making a vital contribution to the war effort.
Rev. Aubrey Stewart: I'll drink to that.
Samantha Stewart: It's not the same, you know sir. You should have stayed.
DCS Christopher Foyle: Really?
Samantha Stewart: Now if you're writing a wartime history of the Hastings police, you would have stayed till the last chapter...
DCS Christopher Foyle: No... Belongs to someone else...
Samantha Stewart: DCS Meredith, you mean... He was the one who fired me...

Which religion?, 15 July 2008

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

The story revolves around a young man who is a devout Catholic, whose conscience is extremely troubled by the death of German civilians. The opening scene has him in a confessional, and he refers to the sixth commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." any Catholic would refer to this as the FIFTH commandment, using the Catholic rather than Protestant numbering. (Yes, he was definitely (Roman) Catholic, not a member of the small group of Anglicans called "Anglo- Catholics.)

This is a petty point about an otherwise very good show. The timing is not perfect-- the story proceeds slowly and then Foyle comes up with the solution in the last few minutes. But that is a common occurrence in this series, and is the only thing that keeps the ratings below 9 or 10.
