It's no secret that we at Cinema Retro consider "Foyle's War" to be among the very best television shows ever produced in England (or anywhere else, for that matter.) Here is the official Acorn Media press release regarding the final season on DVD and Blu-ray.
Silver Spring,
MD — The final season of Foyle’s War, Set 8 debuts on DVD and
