Continuity mistake: In the final scene when Miss Pierce in a car asks Foyle to get in, she looks rather more presentable initially with her hair in curls partly framing her face, with noticeable red lipstick and possibly make up. When Foyle gets in the car and takes up the conversation, the hairstyle reverts to her usual dowdy plain style off the face and the lips are natural.
Foyle's War (2002)
1 continuity mistake in season 8 - chronological order
Starring: Michael Kitchen, Anthony Howell, Honeysuckle Weeks
Factual error: When Sam reads the newspaper, one article claims that 254 people were killed in a Paris air raid. This episode takes place in February 1941, when Paris was already occupied by the Germans, and England did not bomb Paris. Oddly enough, this same article appears in a previous episode.
DCS Christopher Foyle: The uniform suits you.
Andrew Foyle: Thanks. I wish I could say the same about your dressing gown.
Trivia: The fuel station features metal miniblinds in several scenes. These did not become available until the early 1940s and would aluminium be diverted from airplane production to blinds?
Question: Why does Foyle wear an overcoat at all times of the year? I know that the English summer is temperate, but always a long, floppy overcoat?
Answer: An early photograph of Andrew Foyle shows him wearing his 'wings' before qualifying. R D F was referred to as Radar, but the term Radar was not used until 2 years later.
Answer: He doesn't actually wear it all the time even in summer. In some episodes in the summer he simply wears his suit with jacket.
