Thread Name: Tim van Eyken - Foyle's War?
Subject: RE: Tim van Eyken - Foyle's War?
I video'd it but haven't watched it yet - caught his name in the credits while I was cueing the tape back. Looking forward to hearing him.

I'm very glad to see this new series. The plug got pulled on the show last time fairly abruptly, I seem to recall reading. The producer and cast were pretty shocked, and there was still plenty of War left to run (I think they'd only got up to about 1942 though I don't remember enough specific historical events or details to use as a timeline). At that time there were reportedly no plans for a renewal, so this has been a very welcome surprise. I noticed Michael Kitchen's name on a producer's credit, buried in amongst the Best Boys and Key Grips etc. Wonder if that has something to do with the revival?
