Thought some of you might be interested on whats on the telly tonight here in the UK:

Tonight 8pm ITV1 Foyles War

Foyle (think Columbo but in England in 1944...) is taking chess lessons from psychiatrist Dr Josef, a polish Jew who lost his family to Nazis while out of the country on business. "Foyles War" is a good quality period drama and this episode is also the critics choice in our listings magazine so hopefully worth watching. Anthony Horowitz, the writer, is well known for scrupulous attention to detail so I expect the chess references will be well researched.

Don't shout about the chess. We were going to watch it but if my other half thinks theres chess in it I'll have to put up with "Home or Away" instead!

The king and queen were the wrong way around on the board near the end so I don't think he's that scrupulous.

Horowitz is the writer, not the director, so this is a little unfair.
