BBC Week 1 2011

My late father was in the RAF. Many a film or TV drama about WW2 would be spoilt (for the family and, no doubt, for him as well) by him shouting furiously at the screen as he observed some historical or technical inaccuracy. (Although he really liked the film The Battle of Britain. Then it would be me who would bemoan the sixties' hairstyles.)
I think we have to be philosophical here. These events are nearly 70 years old. Mistakes are going to be made. Unless they are unforgiveably glaring, can't they just be overlooked? Isn't it better to throw some light on a little-known incident (well, little-known to me), with some technical inaccuracies, than not at all?





If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

Im glad I know little of the mistakes you point out. For me, this was an excellent piece of television. Perhaps we are so spoiled by the multi-million dollar movies, that it is difficult to be impressed by the scope of this tv production, that must be limited by budget. Its good that this little known incident is getting some attention.
