Honeysuckle had a wonderful Foyle's War but she wishes Sam - and her knickers - had been sexier


Almost a year has passed since Honeysuckle Weeks filmed her last scenes as Samantha Stewart in ITV1's concluding two episodes of Foyle's War. But she still misses the role that made her a household name. "In the end, I think we went on a little longer than the war itself," she says, "but I never wanted it to finish."

More recently, she's been touring the UK in a stage production of Henry James's Turn Of The Screw. It has been a less-than-happy experience. "Let's just say I've been to Hull and back," says Honeysuckle, rather pleased with her own joke.
