Foyle's War: Set Seven



THESE ARE NEW EPISODES FOR 2013
These are all new episodes to air in 2013. The confusion arises from the fact that two of the SEASONS were merged into 1 SET in the states. Hence we have 6 "SETS" for 7 "SERIES" or "SEASONS". This NEW DVD covers the new episodes from the upcoming new SEASON 8.

Here is a statement from Acorn's own website --

"Series 8 ((which will likely be released as set 7 on DVD in the U.S.) will be set during the early period after World War II with Foyle focusing his attention on the world of espionage as he gathers secret intelligence in support of Britain's security, defense and the Government's foreign and economic policies. The stories will range from Foyle identifying highly placed atomic spies to a true story of government corruption. A world of transition where the values and certainties of the war have given way to austerity, exhaustion and doubts about the direction the new government is taking".

Pre-Order
The series stands for itself in British Television quality in acting and production of this World War II Mystery series. It would be nice for Amazon or Acorn to let prospective buyers know how many episodes are included and perhaps total running time ? It might be helpful in selling it.

Still A Great Show
The UK DVD's have the proper series numbers. Series 7 just came out last week in the UK, and I got mine and watched it already

To correct some of the bad misinformation that's going on here, both the UK "series 7" and the US "set 7" are the same. I buy the UK versions (a region-free DVD player is needed) because they come out months sooner than the US versions. And many times, the US versions are edited. If the series was shown here on PBS, and there is a PBS logo on the front of the DVD (ie, Downton Abbey DVD's) they are edited usually. FYI, the episode titles for series 7 AND set 7 are: The Eternity Ring, The Cage, and Sunflower. Only 3 episodes. And longtime fans of the series will probably miss the Paul Milner character, played by Anthony Howell - he's not in this series. Honeysuckle Weeks returns as Sam, but no Milner.
