He tenaciously pursues justice, assisted by his driver Sam Stewart ( Honeysuckle Weeks).
Another criminally underrated gem. Writer Anthony Horowitz’s period detective drama saw Michael Kitchen give a masterfully subtle performance as methodical hero DCSI Christopher Foyle – a Sussex sleuth tasked with catching criminals capitalising on the chaos caused by the Second World War.

The pair quietly became one of TV’s best duos. Handsome production design and attention to historical detail only enhanced its charms. Read our Foyle’s War review
