Anthony Horowitz, creator of Foyle’s War, explained that Michael Kitchen was as responsible for the development of Christopher Foyle’s character as he was.
“It's not always been easy. Michael is very demanding. One of the funny things about him is that he's the only actor I know who demands fewer lines. He'll look at a speech and say to me, "Actually I can do all of that — five lines — with one look." And the annoying thing is, he's always right; he can — which means I have to write more dialogue for the other actors to fill out the episode.”
There were several times in tonight’s episode that my Sweetie and I looked at each other and laughed. But the scene in which the husband is arrested for the murder of his first wife is priceless. Foyle tells DI Milner, his former sergeant, that he will be on his own since Foyle is not only retired but headed to America. DI Milner’s inept sergeant pipes up that he will be there. Foyle pauses, looks at him, and says, “Precisely.”
Indeed.
