Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe piano music being heard under the titles, played on the piano, and on the radio is "Für Elise." Elise was Sophie's code name when she went to France as a British intelligence agent. There's another irony as "Für Elise" was written by Beethoven in 1810 but not published until 1867, forty years after his death. Elise was a pseudonym for the composer's "Immortal Beloved," whose real identity is often speculated on.
- GoofsA letter starts "Dear Ms Pierce".
- Quotes
[final lines of episode and of whole series - Samantha has a quiet word with Foyle after the funeral]
Samantha Wainwright: [diffidently] Sir...
Christopher Foyle: Yes?
Samantha Wainwright: Um...
Christopher Foyle: Problem?
Samantha Wainwright: No, I just wanted to tell you something.
Christopher Foyle: What's that?
Samantha Wainwright: I hate letting you down, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to hand in my notice. The fact is... well, you could say I'm... PWP.
Christopher Foyle: Pregnant without permission?
Samantha Wainwright: 'Fraid so.
Christopher Foyle: Well, you choose your moments!
Samantha Wainwright: I wanted to get it over with.
Christopher Foyle: Good thinking.
Samantha Wainwright: So it means I'm going to be rather... busy for a while.
Christopher Foyle: Well, I do understand.
Samantha Wainwright: I don't like to leave you on your own.
Christopher Foyle: Well I *might* be OK. I don't about the rest of the country, but...
Samantha Wainwright: I'd really like it if you- if you'd be the godfather.
[Foyle stops walking and turns to face Samantha]
Christopher Foyle: Honoured.
Samantha Wainwright: Thank you.
Christopher Foyle: Pleasure.
[Samantha hugs Foyle and kisses him on the cheek, then walks off to her husband; Foyle smiles contentedly to himself]

Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven (in 1810 but unpublished until 1867, 40 years after his death)
Heard on piano under main titles
Both statements are true. The aircraft should have been a Westland Lysander, and it should have been painted black with red markings and subdued insignia. However, as far as I know, there are no Lysanders available in flying condition. The aircraft is an Auster J1N (similar to a Piper Cub) Civil Registration G-AJAJ. It is almost identical to the Auster light aircraft used by the British Army and RAF during WWII for liaison and artillery spotting duties. Although it was not used (as far as I know) for agent insertion and egress missions, and if it were so used, it would not have been in those peacetime markings, I think it is close enough to be plausible.
And the beautiful De Havilland Dragon Rapide. G-AKIF is completely accurate as a post-war regional airliner.
