Description:

The first suite of episodes in the Foyle's War series comes to a thrilling conclusion with "Eagle Day," a tense and historically fascinating story in which Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) goes toe-to-toe with guardians of England's Official Secrets Act. For a very personal reason, too: Foyle's R.A.F. pilot son, Andrew (Julian Ovenden), first seen in episode 1 and an off-screen emotional presence for the detective in subsequent programs, is falsely accused of stealing documents pertinent to Britain's fledgling, 1940 experiments with radar. An outraged Foyle knows the charge is connected to a cover-up involving a murdered truck driver, a suicidal air force technician, and--of all things--a possible art theft. Series creator Anthony Horowitz's script, as usual, reflects tremendous research: details about the radar program, the Secrets Act, and why ice cream trucks disappeared from England's roads are not to be missed. --Tom Keogh
