Written by Michael Chaplin for a change. The episode theme is all in the title.
Joseph Mawle returns home from war to wife Natasha Little (Any Human Heart, The Boys Are Back) and child, having spent all of it as a prisoner of war, is not too happy to find a dishy German helping out on the farm (the not very German sounding Jonathan Forbes). A young man has run away and returns to his evacuee 'parents' Phyllida Law and Graham Crowden. Foyle plays chess with Polish psychiatrist Nicholas Woodeson. Also with Jesse Birdsall, Roger Sloman, Alexander Gilmour, Sally Leonard, Oliver Kieran-Jones, Duncan Bell.
I love the way the plot strands all converge. Would not have guessed the ending in a million years.
Knew Mawle at once, maybe from Five Daughters, Red Riding or The Street - good actor.
