FOYLE'S WAR

Broadcast alert: Spy Vibers may want to check out the new Foyle's War that airs tonight. The program focuses on a British detective during and after WWII. From the official site: "While WWII rages across the Channel, police detective Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) reluctantly remains on duty in his quiet English coastal town. The battle comes to Foyle in its own way as he probes war-related cases of murder, espionage, and treason. Mystery blends with history, moral complexity, and period atmosphere in this splendid British series." Fans in the States can see it on Masterpiece Mystery (Bay Area viewers via KQED public television) and online at Acorn TV. More info at the official site here.
