Though both Redford and Streep had allegedly jumped at the chance of working together, their initial meeting was described as ‘unpromisingly polite, reserved and formal’. So it remained up until the first day of shooting when Michael Kitchen, cast as Finch Hatton’s safari partner, Berkeley Cole, broke the ice by explaining how he’d smuggled a package of 150 pairs of fifteen-dollar latex ears into Kenya to avoid its complex customs regulations. The ears were fitted daily to the extras playing the tribesmen as modern Kenyans no longer pierce and stretch their lobes as they did in 1914. ‘Ears?’ said Redford. ‘I thought you were bringing in the football.’ The next day he turned up with a football. When he started kicking it around between takes, Streep hitched up her period clothes and joined in. The show was on the road.

Michael Kitchen is barely recognisable as he does his bit upside down. He told me about this kit he has, where he hangs upside down which is great for your back and I just thought – come on – to see one of our country’s greatest actors, Inspector Foyle himself, acting upside down – you don’t see that every day.

Lovely to see Michael Kitchen looking well while pitching in to deliver PPE on behalf of Sanders Sails.

Listening to Sam make small talk with the Milners, Foyle can’t quite keep a straight face as he takes in the preposterous idea of her becoming a nun.

The way he quirks his mouth at this revelation cracks me up… He looks like he’s biting back several comments all at once! I just know that one of the things he’s thinking is “Presumably NOT in a silent order”… – fuckyeahmichaelkitchen
