Andrew Foyle - Stock broker???
by kitchenwonder » Wed Sep 21, 2016 8:56 pm
A friend recently pointed out to me that the character table in Wikipedia says Andrew Foyle was a "stock broker in the City in series 8".
I don't recall anything about this in series 8. Does anyone out there know?

Doesn't Foyle say he's working in the City? I believe he does. No mention of what his job is.
"Stockbroker" is the stereotypical City job (the equivalent of Wall Street, for Americans) but I'm sure there are others. Investment banker? Commodities trader? Accountant? No such thing as private equity or hedge funds in those days, but surely there were a range of jobs in financial services that he could have done.
I seem to recall that the Foyle's War book that came out years ago said that Andrew was reading mathematics at Oxford (yet another bit of backstory, like Rosalind's typhoid, that I don't believe ever made it into a script). There must be some way that a maths background could fit into the financial world, I should think.
