Well, I've been home for 3 days with a broncitis virus that is going around. After the first day I started to drive my wife nuts. I can't even enjoy a pipe.
Yesterday my wife pulled out a DVD set she got from the library - Foyle's War. We're late to the party on this one. What a great series! We really had no idea of what England had gone through before the American's joined the war. No wonder they resented the "yanks" who arrived with everything new and plentiful. This is truly a wonderful series that I would recommend to anyone.

I enjoyed it as well. The series 6 was the end of the war years. The show started up again in 2010 and series 8 was just released this year.

Great show! Netflix has it, for anyone interested. I recall a few episodes that had a pipe smoker or two.

Current series is being shown on PBS, I've watched every one. I may get the prior series on DVD, I'm sure they are just as good.

I've really enjoyed the whole series on Netflix. They also have it at the local library to borrow. Thanks for the heads up on the other show Roth.

Thanks Roth for the info on Bletchely Circle. That will be our next.
Tried Inspector Allyn - after the first episode my wife called him a wimp and we haven't watched any more of that series. We really enjoyed the Campion series, there just weren't many of them.

I found the Foyle series to be rather preachy and overly idealistic. The mysteries themselves were pretty good but the characters were off-putting.

Both Foyle's War and The Bletchley Circle look good. I love anything crypto, so maybe I'll start with Bletchley.

Plateau guy if you like Peter Davision in Campion, look him up in The Last Detective, good Netflix series.

I would heartily recommend the BBC program via NETFLIX, "Wallander" with Kenneth Branaugh as the sleuth.

I would even more heartily reccomend the Wallender books by Henning Mankell. Very good series of mysteries. Also any of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus books, set in Edinburgh and surrounds.

I found Foyle's war an interesting ww2 mystery show. However, I enjoyed many other European ww2 movies such as "der untergang", and "flammen & citronen". ::
