Having watched the whole 8 series and thoroughly enjoying it, the last three episodes were pretty boring, and this, the last was dire.
Firstly not enough Foyle and his great deduction. Too many unecessary flashbacks, in slow motion and soppy sentimental music. Oh and if you hadn't realised that the title had a double meaning - also a title of a Beethoven piece, it was played many, many times just in case you didn't get the connection.
Poor acting, especially from the weedy gangland mastermind, and some of his cronies and those he was blackmailing, and the Miles character
Poor performances all around really - Sam following a suspect and employing a SOE officer to create a diversion - she wouldn't have the common sense to do this. Adam her husband the drippy Labour MP, so naive and seeing good in everyone, even the racketeer selling goods in the market!
Why on earth were Sam and hubby at the funeral??? She hadn't met the person, and he certainly hadn't. She couldn't have been driving Foyle!
It was a long winded, way too long episode, with the story flagging, flashbacks of the terrible actress who was so bravely off to France.
Disappointing, no wonder no more were made.
