Foyle's War: Series VI: The Russian House (3x1)

:

It is July 1945 and, as Britain settles into peacetime, Foyle looks forward to retirement, while Samantha is working as a housekeeper. But the detective has to put his plans on hold when Sam's employer, eminent artist Sir Leonard Spencer-Jones, is found dead. Suspicion initially falls on Niko, a young Russian PoW whom the victim had taken under his wing. Niko flees the Sussex coast and heads for a sanctuary in London, closely followed by Foyle, who has been sent to track him down by the War Office. But the investigation soon brings to light a conspiracy and an international cover-up which, if exposed, could bring down the British government. Max Brown joins the cast, with Michael Kitchen, Honeysuckle Weeks, Anthony Howell, Eleanor Bron and Christopher Good
