Surprisingly, the programme has developed into a worthwhile historical study, with some footage different from that usually shown in BoB progs, and many excellent contributions from veterans of the conflict. The shots of people flying around in the two seater are pretty enough, but seem increasingly irrelevant, particularly as there is virtually no examination of the process of flying the machine. This week's episode made the case for the vital roles played by (and subsequent shabby treatment of) Dowding and Park, and I found the softly spoken tribute to Dowding by the late Sir Christopher Foxley-Norris DSO distinctly moving.
