In this final episode set against the last six days of the war, on the home front, Hastings is preparing itself for victory celebrations. For Foyle (Michael Kitchen) it means retirement and hopefully the return of his son, Andrew (Julian Ovenden), from the war; for Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) a new and uncertain future; for Milner (Anthony Howell) a promotion at another police station down the coast and a new baby. Until the announcement however, there's still work to be done.
Foyle is enlisted as the police representative for the council's Victory Day Celebrations Committee. Worried about a breakdown in public order, the council has collected together the great and the good of the town to see how best to manage what is anticipated as the biggest street party of all time.

In order to ease the boredom of the blackout, Foyle (Michael Kitchen) has taken up chess. His tutor is psychiatrist Dr Josef Novak (Nicholas Woodeson), a Polish Jew who works at Sackville House in Hastings. Sackville House has been requisitioned by the War Office for the rehabilitation of servicemen traumatised by war. Novak's family in Poland were rounded up and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazis while Novak was out of the country. Unable to return home or help his family, Novak had no choice but to come to Britain as an exile.

Michael Kitchen is back as DCS Christopher Foyle for the final series of the popular BAFTA winning series Foyle's War.
We begin episode one in April 1944. Something big is about to happen. Everyone on the South Coast can just feel it. Troops and Forces vehicles are on the move in vast quantities and the Allies have stepped up their bombing campaign over Germany and it would seem the end of the war is in sight.
Milner (Anthony Howell) has cracked a large fraud case involving false transportation claims for journeys that were never made but which cost the War Office thousands of pounds. The perpetrator, Burton (Phillip Fox), is a well-connected man and warns Milner to watch out - Burton's got friends who wouldn't be pleased to see him in jail.

FOYLE'S WAR: THE FUNK HOLE
Repeat Series & Final
Friday, 11 January 2008
As World War Two rages over Europe, Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle (Michael Kitchen) fights his own battle against murder, mystery and betrayal on the south coast of England.
Although the beautiful countryside seems far away from the glory of the front, Foyle's battle is an ordinary struggle against everyday evil - in extraordinarily dangerous times.
It is April 1941. The body of a young man is found half-buried in the woods. When Foyle's investigation into the death leads him to a 'Funk Hole' hotel (a hotel that caters for long term guests in war-time, cowards who are essentially hiding from the war) he discovers there are a number of guests from London, quietly sitting out the war. Included among them is London councillor Frank Vaudrey (Richard Hope).
