There is no bad episode of Foyle's War, but there are flawed episodes, and this is one of them. The flaw is a gratuitous bombing raid on Andrew's duty station just as he and Foyle are leaving. This is supposed to be a super-secret base where everyone has signed the official secrets act and can't say anything to anyone about what goes on there. (Even the rape of a female radar operator by her commanding officer.) So along comes the bombing raid, and once it's over the Foyles merely get into the car that Sam has conveniently just arrived in and leave. Nothing is said about possible casualties or how awful it is that the Germans now recognize this secret base as a target.
It seems to have been added as mere comic relief, as Andrew leads his father to shelter in a fuel dump as the bombs explode. What the hell was Anthony Horowitz thinking?
