Foyle's War: Trespass (2015 Stuart Orme)

Racism, Fascism, terrorism (both in Jerusalem - the King David hotel bombing - and at home). A starkly drawn world pre-NHS. A Foreign Office official (Alex Jennings) who tries to get Foyle sacked - guess what happens?

The level of anti-Jewish feeling - so soon after the liberation and full horror of the camps has been revealed - is startling.

Jim Cartwright, Amber Rose Revah, Hermione Gulliford, John Heffernan, Richard LIntern, Matilda Ziegler, Jonathan Tafler, Alexander Arnold, Yolanda Vazquez... Who's the Palestinian girl then?

You could study any of these screenplays to see how brilliantly the multiple strands are all integrated.
