As someone who's been both a journo and a commercial heavy jet captain, I feel I have to break the sad news to a few pruners: the audience really don't care about the RAF's role in the inter-war years or whether the Scruggs wonder-jet was better in a dogfight than the Super Jackboot, or the magnificent work the kipper fleet did, or why British combat moustaches were superior to USAF ones. The viewers had scores of available TV channels to watch. That's why the BBC's only hope someone might watch this was if it was an entertainment presented by a Celeb and his brother. A ninety-minute detailed lecture from Air Vice Marshal WhenIwasOnTwelveSquadron wouldn't have stood much of a chance against Carrie Mathews on Homeland on C4!
