Just a heads up for good television to those half dozen or so souls here who don't repeatedly claim to have shot their televisions. Until minutes ago I wasn't aware the new series was beginning, so others interested might also not have known.

Besides, Honeysuckle Weeks is one of the best names ever in tv.

Thanks...have been looking forward to this. As to ‘Honeysuckle’, I wonder if her parents named her that! LOL! I would think it doubtful she chose it as a stage name!

We’ve got the entire set. It gives an excellent depiction or the reality of war in London/Hastings and the havoc it played with the mentality of the British - rationing, food shortages, fighting against over whelming odds, etc. Plus there’s the great acting and always the mystery to solve.

Thanks for posting...
I liked the few episodes of Foyle I’ve seen.
And it reminds me that I need to get a copy of “Piece of Cake”,
the series on Royal Air Force during The Battle of Britian.
