5. What is Sam's father's occupation?

Answer: a vicar

Sam Stewart(short for Samantha) is Foyle's driver. She is part of the MTC and became Foyle's driver in the first episode of the show, "The German Woman". In the season 1 finale, "Eagle Day", Mr. Stewart comes to take Sam home where she will be "safer". At the end of the episode, however, he changes his mind and Sam is allowed to stay.
6. In "A Lesson in Murder" (season 1), who killed the little boy, Joe?

Answer: Lawrence Gascoine

Lawrence Gascoine was a judge. His family took in a little boy, Joe, who was from London. Joe saw Mr. Gascoine taking a bribe from a man, and Joe was going to tell. Lawrence had to get rid of him, so he first faked a death threat by throwing a brick through the window with the words "you too will recieve justice".

He then faked a phone call, and said the voice told him to go to the summer house. Joe, of course, wanted to investigate, and ran to the summer house. As soon as Joe opened the door, a hand grenade went off, placed there by Lawrence.

When his wife found out what he did, she shot him three times, therefore avenging Joe.
7. In "A Lesson in Murder" (season 1), Sam goes out with a young Italian man, whose father is good friends with Foyle. What is Sam's boyfriend's name?

Answer: Tony

At the end of the episode, Tony's father is killed for being Italian (Italy had just entered the war on Germany's side). We never see him again. He had told Sam he had joined up to fight.
8. In "Among the Few" (season 2), who killed Connie?

Answer: Rex

Rex, Connie's boyfriend, is only using her because he actually has an interest in Andrew, and no one would know how he really was if he had a girlfriend. Connie found this out, and threatened Rex by telling him she would tell everyone. Rex struggled with her, and accidently pushed her down the stairs, killing her. Everyone suspects Andrew, who was the last person to see her alive. Rex is also an RAF pilot, and lets his plane come down so no one will know the truth.
9. Who killed Frank Vaudrey in "The Funk Hole" (season 2)?

Answer: James Collier

Mr. Collier was a policeman whose mother and sister died in a bomb shelter. Mr. Vaudrey was in charge of moving the people in that particular shelter out because bombs were supposed to hit. He forgot, and Collier's family died. To get revenge, Collier takes Foyle's place in Hastings after Foyle is wrongly accused of "swaying public opinion". Collier kills Vaudrey, who is staying at a "funk hole", or hotel for people to get away from the war. Collier made it look like suicide by forcing Vaudrey to take poison.
10. In "The Funk Hole" (season 2) what movie does Andrew take Sam to see?

Answer: "Gone with the Wind"

Andrew crashed, and he broke his arm. He was feeling a little down in the dumps, so Foyle asked Sam to take Andrew out for a while. Sam took Andrew for tea, but Andrew found out Foyle asked her to do it, and he was upset. He left in a huff, and Sam was also very upset. Foyle yelled at Andrew for being so rude, so Andrew took Sam out to the movies. They begin a secret romance after that.
