I thought Robinson's book was pretty good; there was a follow-up, based in the Western Desert called (I think) A Good, Clean Fight - also a good read. Many people had a problem with the ITV series (still available on DVD) as it seemed to portray the pilots in a bad light (shooting down allied aircraft, taking kit from dead comrades' rooms etc), but Robinson always said that his intent was to show that they were just ordinary people, not superhuman, and that the incidents were all based on true stories. I spoke to one BoB veteran who thought it was fairly true-to-life.
There was also criticism that the TV series had Spits, not Hurricanes; there were of course no Spits based in France in 1940. The producers quite rightly said that, at the time of filming (1989), there were far more Spits flying than Hurricanes; if it were to be made now, you could probably do it with Hurricanes and CGI. Unduly harsh criticism, I feel, from folks who wanted to knock the show in any way they could.
