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.

Answer: It seems he doesn't like to drive
It beats me why someone doesn't simply teach him, but instead he is given Sam Stewart to drive him around. In the series, Sam is taken from the Mechanised Transport Corps, so she's a reasonable mechanic as well. Actor Honeysuckle Weeks had to have tractor-driving lessons for one episode.

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.

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.

Answer: Police procedural
"Foyle's War" is a police procedural in that we see Foyle mostly at work and in the context of his job, and also see him actively investigating within the confines of his position on the police force. He is not an amateur detective (Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" is one of those), nor a PI ("Magnum: PI" was one) or a hard boiled detective like "Mike Hammer" or "Sam Spade".
From Quiz: Foyle's War
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.
