    • Trivia
      Bawdsey Manor, used as a filming location for the radar testing that Andrew Foyle takes part in, was the birthplace of Britain's radar defence network.
    • Goofs
      The round RADAR screen with the iconic type of sweeping display was not used until after the war. The correct display was a horizontal line, as shown to the right of the round screen. Ditto the rotating RADAR antenna outside - the antennas were fixed at that time. (In any case, the antenna rotation should have the same speed as the display rotation, which it did not.)
    • Quotes

      Wing Commander Martin Keller: I was simply doing what I thought was best for the war!

      DCS Christopher Foyle: I'm sure a great many Nazi's will be saying the same thing when this war is over.

    A very fine early mystery.
    Foyle has a strange case to investigate, a bomb damaged building reveals a murdered man, stabbed in the chest, and has to look after his son when he gets dragged into something.

    Julian Ovenden was always great when he appeared as Foyle's son Andrew, I loved how awkward Sam was around him.

    Two of Endeavour's finest appear, Anton Lesser and Roger Allam, both are terrific, both speak wonderfully. It was fitting I watched this tonight, Sam's father, actor Stephen Moore sadly passed away a few days ago, an excellent, much missed actor.

    Incredibly well directed and well made, it looks amazing, the shots of the spitfire in particular looked terrific.

    A very good episode. 8/10
