Popular wartime detective drama Foyle's War starring Michael Kitchen returns to ITV1 at 9pm on Sunday 13th April
In order to ease the boredom of the blackout, Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle (Michael Kitchen) has taken up playing chess. Foyle#39;s chess 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. Dr Novak's family in Poland were rounded up and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazis while Dr Novak was out of the country. Unable to return home to Poland or help his family, Dr Novak had no choice but to come to Britain as an exile.
When one of Dr Novak's colleagues, Julian Worth, is found murdered, Foyle is called in to investigate. There are no shortage of suspects as it becomes quickly apparent that Julian Worth was not a well-liked man. Soon after the discovery of the body, Dr Novak attempts suicide but is found just in time by Foyle and Milner (Anthony Howell). As Dr Novak is carried to the ambulance, Novak implies that he was responsible for Worth's murder but Foyle is not convinced.
News reaches Hastings Police station of a 14-year-old telegraph boy who is missing from his home in London. Tommy Crooks (Danny Worters) had been evacuated to Hastings earlier in the war and Tommy's father thinks he may have made his way back to the coast. When a German POW working on a farm near Sackville House is found dead, it is revealed that Tommy has good reason to hate the Nazis more than most and finding him becomes Foyle's top priority.
The sixth series of the ratings winning ITV1 drama follows Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle's battles with murder, mystery and betrayal on the south coast as England is on the brink of victory in the Second World War.
From the pen of acclaimed scriptwriter and novelist Anthony Horowitz, Foyle's War became an instant hit on its debut in 2002. The first series won the Lew Grade Audience Award at the 2003 BATFA Television Awards, the second series was nominated for a BAFTA for best television series, and Foyle's War has been sold to 26 countries around the world.
This new series of two-hour Foyle's War films once again star Anthony Howell as injured sergeant Paul Milner and Honeysuckle Weeks as the headstrong Sam.
Filmed in London and the southern counties of England, Broken Souls, is written by Michael Chaplin.
The final three films for Foyle's War will be released on DVD on Monday April 28th.
