Sanford and Son (1972-1978): How Did 18 Actors Tragically Pass Away? Memories 1970s : ruclips.net/video/y2EMtdrILiU/видео.html These are the actors who made Foyle’s War a notable series. Which character impressed you the most in Foyle’s War? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section of this video so we can hear from you. Don’t forget to like, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications for updates on my upcoming videos. Thank you for watching!
WTF. Whose damn fool idea thought it would be a good to add fake sprocket holes and dust flickering around over the pictures? (Dust would show up black, not white.) Seriously annoying and wholly unnecessary. Stop it. 🙄😖🤬
I am from Canada. The best series I have ever watched. Great acting. You felt you where actually in England during the war.😅 Kitchen made the show. Thanks.
They were all Brilliant - No exceptions This is the reason why you can watch it over and over again and still get as much enjoyment as if it were the first time!
YUP I have all the DVDs and am re-watching the series now. Though I do prefer Morse/Lewis/Endeavour and Holmes (Brett and Rathbone) I think Foyle is my all-time No.3 on a very very long list. The writing, direction, production and acting are all excellent, as is their take on the human condition.
This was an intelligent and very well cast series. A TV gem by any standards. I can relate to the SGT who lost a leg. In 1980 I worked at a Fire Brigade Control room operating radio and emergency telephones. A member of my watch, an army veteran from WW2 had lost a leg from enemy fire at Monte Casino, was taken prisoner. He was a strong character and a pleasure to work with. The rest of the cast were obviously expertly chosen, they all bore a very authentic look of the wartime period. My intention is to watch this series again.
One of the best shows I have ever seen. Great acting and wonderful writing. Makes me think about what life must have been like during this period. Watch the series many times. So real and memorable.
I first noticed Michael Kitchen in 1981 when a British television play titled _Caught on a Train_ was screened by the ABC in Australia. The then young actor co-starred with a much older actress in the lead roles. In the years since, I've never failed to be impressed by his performances.
I loved foils war. A terrific series. I take every opportunity to watch when it reappears on telly.fine actors and excellent storylines.thankyou for the video. Cheers
That is funny but I think there is a fairly solid 24 minutes of entertainment in the video to be fair. This plainly took some effort to make and is finished to a high professional standard. I only watched it for Honeysuckle Weeks and I enjoyed that and the rest of what I saw. I particularly admired the respect shown for this country during the war by people, who in all probability have little experience of the event. And no 3 or 4 minute charity adverts. What's not to like?
@@brmh1667 Did you notice when telling about Mr. Weyman the had one picture of him and then picture of the 3 main characters from the show. AI is SHIT. Cheers
The appeal of 'Foyle's War' was summed up early in the series, when a character, asked to describe what Foyle does, says 'he investigates murder in a time of war'.
Fun Fact - I knew Honeysuckle when she was a small child - her father was an English Master (teacher) at our Private School (Seaford College in... Sussex, between Petworth and Graffham to be exact the postcode of which I can oddly still remember - GU28 0NB) and she would be seen around the school grounds. Both her parents were aspiring actors, but decided to teach instead, though they both did AmDram from what I recall. A very bubbly happy child, always friendly and would say hello, and not particularly shy despite being 4 or 5 years old. When I saw the credits on Foyles War I had to check and contacted the school who affirmed it was indeed Honeysuckle, Master Weeks' daughter.
An excellent rendition that highlights the great art that actors bring to portraying their characters and focusing as well as the complexity of the total storyline that every contributor must bring to a play. Showing the skill of the complexity of performance over the unfortunate media celebrity that results a refreshing a thing to see.
The other aspect that I think made Foyles War so captivating was the accuracy of the plots, many of them were based on fact but fictionalised and woven intoi the plots of the story - examples that stand out to me, the end of the war episode of the "British Legion" traitors, the early war case of thr spy who witnessed a murder from his boat etc
Nice joke about accuracy most amusing Really funny gave all the still living members of my family who were in the police and had fathers who served in the war time police. There so many mistakes carried out in what I asume was supposed to ne researched. The researcher should have been sacked.
@@lordeden2732 I think the accuracy lies with the war-time plots and ambience, as opposed to the police-procedural. Despite the series being centered upon the Police, I would argue it was never about the Police, per se. It is analogous to accepting that John lecarre's novels, based in espionage, are not actually about espionage. Cheers.
Michael Kitchen is one of those actors. I can watch any production which includes Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood or Julia Roberts. But there are others, and Michael Kitchen is one of them.
I found the pseudo grainy and jittery effect distracting, but the content was excellent. This was one of my favorite of the British crime dramas of the last few decades, presenting deeply dimensioned characters and believable interactions during a difficult period.
I really like Foyle's war and have watched most episodes several times over. This was a decent video, well made and well presented, there is, however, a technical error, you stated Foyle's rank as a Detective Chief Inspector, he was indeed a Detective Chief Superintendent, which is two ranks higher.
I did two days as an extra on the set of Casualties of War; just playing a worker and part of a gambling school. Good fun though and one day was Good Friday so we got double pay! In the gambling school were two youngsters, Gerard Keens and Harry Eden, who hadn't a clue about the old money we were using. Us oldies were teaching them about tanners, thre'pennybits, bobs, ha'pennies, and all that. Great fun though.
For those who not amateur radio operators, or ex military. The proword OVER, means a reply needed. OUT, means no reply needed. Using both cancels each other out.
This was a show that I watched quite often and as an American it gave me insights into war time Britain. But watching this video I was struck with how much sugar was poured over the narrative. Who wrote this? The actors publicity agents? The narrative basically said the same thing about each actor!
Yeah... I noticed that too....just about all of them had the same " warm personality and a deep respect for their fellow actors......." Mmm, all a bit syrupy to say the least. But....Not bad, all told.
Whato all, Christopher Foyle was not a "Chief Detective" or a " Chief Inspector" but a Detective Chief Superintendent. If Memories 1970s can't get that right, I can't be bothered to finish this video or watch any others this organisation makes. I also hate the added scratch marks and sprockets.
Absolutely great series. Everyone was perfectly cast. I do think just about every male fell in love with Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks.) I have the entire series on DVD and go back to watch it repeatedly.
Michael Kitchen's portrayal of "The King" in 1993's "To Play the King" was based on Prince Charles, in my opinion. It was sublime, watch it you can. "To Play the King" was the second series (season) of the BBC production of "House of Cards."
A truly great series. I'm now going to start watching it again. The final series was a pity as the stories seemed to have petered out. Then again, perhaps they were demonstrating the grey and miserable post war Britain accurately.
How can you spend so much time gathering details for a video like this, and totally screw up the imagery for the main character? Foyle was not played by Daniel Weyman, as your scene clips imply. Weyman was only in the last season or two.
The series described the hopes and expectations off the British towards the Police. It is inevitable that the standards of police illustrated in the series are compared with the current situation!
Initially a serendipitous find in a thrift bookstore, I bought part of the series earlier this year (2024), found the rest online. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, better late than never. "Life after the accident", what accident? Honeysuckle had a meltdown? Michael Kitchen as Foyle is brilliant. It appears to be a recognized British actor one has to slog through Shakespeare. Trying to understand the Elizabethan dialect is a major pain, those ancient plays need subtitles!
What 'accident' is this referring to? I watched every series and if the reference is referring to Milner loosing his leg at Dunkirk, that was not an 'accident' but an act of war as part of the ongoing series, which was one of the very best T.V.series ever made in any country and now T.V. on all channels is cheap, mindless dross that would insult the intelligence of a set of mess tins, which is why I got rid of my T.V. set years ago and only watch what I chose to watch on RUclips.
The only flaw was the London Transport bus that did not exist during the war. The production company could have found a contemporary bus from the era, they do exist. The bus they used in the scene was from the mid 50s. A silly error in a great series.
How come all these actors keep their private lives secret or, is it that the researcher couldn't be bothered to delve. Its isnt that we want all the nitty gritty but, members of family etc.
Unlike American actors British actors are not all self promoting and attention seeking. A culture where discretion, privacy and class still exists. Being an older Australian and having lived in the U.K their culture is closer to ours with comedy and drama. American actors with notable and eminent exception can't seem to walk pat a mirror with out staring.
The pathetic attempt to try and portray what you think old film looked like with sprocket holes and scratched is extremely disappointing. No film maker would have endorsed that. I would have expected the quality of the end visual result to be as sophisticated as the narration. I have greatly admired Kitchen from the beginning but I fell hopelessly in love with Weeks (!) from the very first frame of Foyle's war.
They may have been affluent enough to get her into Roedean but she was the one to work hard with that start and turn it into English at Oxford, I'm sure they are very proud of her.
The script here is formulaic to the point of nausea and not fair to the excellent actors and production team behind a classic series. What rather spoiled FW for me was the main writer pushing Jewish themes rather too obviously.
What should have been a great video on one of my favourite ever TV shows ruined by a laughably bad AI voiceover. RADA is not pronounced "raider" -ts's RA Der - the Ra as in a ra-ra skirt. Also you seem to have zero knowledge of the British school system - both Eton and Roedean are exclusive private schools. Pupils at both are almost exclusively privileged sons and daughters of the aristocracy or the super wealthy. The idea that pupils at either got/get their education through hard work and dedication is nonsense. They are students there because they come from very privileged backgrounds, not on account of dedication or hard work. A real shame that you ruined what might have been an interesting video on a worthy subject through poor in depth research and shockingly bad AI narration.
Oh what a pompous statement to make about her, "exploring different cultures" do you mean she went abroad on holiday, exploring different cultures, jesus

This was an absolutely wonderful series. Well researched, written, cast, acted, edited. Absolutely brilliant!
AN AMAZING SERIES , WHEN TV WAS WORTH WATCHING .
Yup
Outstanding series made memorable by good writing and masterful performances.

British television at its very best,. A great cast who deservedly warranr this memorable video.
Pity British TV has gone down hill since 😪
Who most impressed me in Foyle's War. Even if I did fall in love with Sam, it was Foyle who stood head and shoulders above the rest.
One of the best shows I have ever seen. Great acting and wonderful writing. Makes me think about what life must have been like during this period. Watch the series many times. So real and memorable.

He is among a rogue's gallery of British and US actors in 'Russia House' with Sean Connery.
I remember Michael Kitchen in Out of Africa ❤
I loved foils war. A terrific series. I take every opportunity to watch when it reappears on telly.fine actors and excellent storylines.thankyou for the video. Cheers
Special series ..... never missed a program. Thank you 😊
A solid 2 minutes of information packed into a 24 minute video.

Thank you for the video, and thank you to the narrator for not sounding like a robot.
Even though I guess it was.
We watched it. Excellent! Each episode always held our full interest.

Most Enjoyable , the Whole series ! So difficult to Make due to the Now Time difference ...
I look forward to continuous Repeats ...
Foyles war wasn’t a film it was a series
I loved the series and I would love if they turned it into books

That was an outstanding series.
It was a great show.
Hattington is and will always be one of my favorite character actors. She's up there with Alan Richman and David Warner.
Had a short stay in Hastings found Foyle’s house etc good stay all round
I enjoyed the series very much
Michael Kitchen is one of those actors. I can watch any production which includes Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood or Julia Roberts. But there are others, and Michael Kitchen is one of them.
Small correction, Foyle was a Chief Superintendent
Genuine quality TV series suitable for just about everyone, and so non-woke. What a rare gem!
A really great show. I'm grateful it was available in the U.S.
I found the pseudo grainy and jittery effect distracting, but the content was excellent. This was one of my favorite of the British crime dramas of the last few decades, presenting deeply dimensioned characters and believable interactions during a difficult period.

This wonderful series actually led my wife and I to move to Hastings!
There were some glaring errors including Foyle's son, an RAF officer, saying " over and out" on the radio, a mistake a private would not make.
For those who not amateur radio operators, or ex military.
The proword
OVER, means a reply needed.
OUT, means no reply needed.
Using both cancels each other out.
And only a military communicator would pick that up 😁

Foyles War was an excellent show but this is just AI generated and narrated candy floss.

A truly great series. I'm now going to start watching it again. The final series was a pity as the stories seemed to have petered out. Then again, perhaps they were demonstrating the grey and miserable post war Britain accurately.
Foyle was not Chief Inspector in the series…
He was Chief Superintendent!
16:26 Silly school boy error!
A lot of generic info / comments saying very little ☹️
Foyle was a Detective Chief Superintendent not a Chief Inspector
Tim McMullan most recently took on the role of Atticus Pond in 'Magpie Murders' and the sequel 'Moonflower Murders".
Brilliant cast & show & glad for updates--but adding the fake hair & dust over the clips was intolerable. Couldn't finish watching...
How can you spend so much time gathering details for a video like this, and totally screw up the imagery for the main character? Foyle was not played by Daniel Weyman, as your scene clips imply. Weyman was only in the last season or two.
No real added value. No real insights. Waste of time.
There’s something off about the narrative/narration. Is this AI?
Honeysuckle Weeks the only actress who in her portrayals always lived up to her name.
When British TV was good not the woke and politically correct rubbish we get now.
Honeysuckle Weeks❤❤❤❤❤
Sorry. Nice pics, BS boilerplate narration. All we learned was where they studied.
Hilda Pierce character resembles to a true story the American spy with one leg that was send to France during the World War II
Could lose the fake aging film effect, annoying and unnecessary.
The series described the hopes and expectations off the British towards the Police. It is inevitable that the standards of police illustrated in the series are compared with the current situation!

What darned accident!!? You keep saying it but don’t tell us what happened! WHY?
Still no explanation,! Hmm.
Click bait
Why go to the trouble of making the video appear to be an old film. It is a distraction and not appreciated.
Anthony horowitz was not allowed a new series as there was not enough diversity my all time favorite show michale kitchen is class
What 'accident' is this referring to?

What accident?
Foyle's War is NOT a movie, as your AI narrator suggests in the opening sentence.
Honeysuckle Weeks.
The only flaw was the London Transport bus that did not exist during the war. The production company could have found a contemporary bus from the era, they do exist. The bus they used in the scene was from the mid 50s. A silly error in a great series.
AI written and performed. Everyone has a secret and deeply personal private life....
Lots of words little said.
All you have to do is google Julian Ovenden and it shows his wife's name and that he has 2 children! Good grief! Get your facts straight!
I stopped watching after 3:38... stupid lint and sprocket holes...
How come all these actors keep their private lives secret or, is it that the researcher couldn't be bothered to delve. Its isnt that we want all the nitty gritty but, members of family etc.

@Laconic-ws4bz in hindsight I agree with your comment. It just seems that the job was half done just to get the subscribers.
Err, what accident? (Glad Sam’s OK)
Did the movie itself suffer from the abominable snow effects?

I would have expected the quality of the end visual result to be as sophisticated as the narration.

I liked Honeyeysuckle but she was lucky to have rich parents to send her to Roedean.
They may have been affluent enough to get her into Roedean but she was the one to work hard with that start and turn it into English at Oxford, I'm sure they are very proud of her.
"Life after the accident.."....what accident?
Let's just all agree that "Folye's War" was a thousand times better than this crappy video.
great series, but nothing in this feature but word salad
