I am a "May to December" husband. My wife is 28 years younger than I am. We have had 19 happy years together this Feb 14th. I worked in Pinner Middlesex England as a policeman for 9 years and the show was filmed in the village,not on a studio lot. I think this was one of the best shows that the UK ever sent over to the USA. The story is very true to life, (I went through it with my son just like he does with his daughter.) So far only the first 2 seasons have made it to DVD and I check regularly to see if they have added more seasons.unfortunately they have only put it on DVD in PAL Zone 2. I had to buy a special DVD player so I could watch the ones they have put out. The local PBS station is not running again.

For a change we have here a police show with: Wit,A good story and actors that make you think they ARE retired police officers.not just playing the part. It is a refreshing change to the US police shows., that are at present being shown in the UK.While one will, I think always remember Morse and compare any police show with the great Inspector Morse. I personally think that "New Tricks" is not only more entertaining but it leaves you with a feeling sad that it is over. I find it hard to wait till the next series is on DVD for me to watch, since I live in Florida. British police shows are of special interest to me as I was before coming to Florida some 50 years ago a police officer with the Metropolitian Police in London.

With so much work done on detail in this series, I was some what shocked to see a RN Captain with a mustache. As a former Lieut in the RNVR I know that at least during the war they were not allowed in the Navy. You had to have a full beard or be clean shaven. I also noticed that several times they left a door open at night and a light was seen, Other than these two items, I must praise all involved with Foyle's for making not only a first class murder mystery but such interesting background into the war.I read somewhere that they hopes the show would go on till at V Day. I sure hope that it will and the DVD's will be on sale in the USA.
