Foyles War

[Dee-M-See]

In the episode shown on itv this evening Sat 26th July
Where was the dockyard action filmed and what was the name of the Destroyer in the Background?

[Ethel]

" "We found the dockyard at Chatham, which has a 1942 destroyer in dock so that was lucky. We also built a good set. Part of it was in the studio so we put up a painted backing of the Chatham dockyard which you could see through the windows. It was going back to old fashioned film making."
