Pity they never made it in colour! I remember seeing Cozens 'Night Bombers' on the BBC, what 25yrs ago or more and was fascinated by it. As one who was born after the war i could never 'get a feel' for what it must have been like in monochrome.
The actor that played Henry Maudsley is Richard Thorp in Emmerdale i believe! Maltby was played by George Baker aka Inspector Wexford. One of the Whitehall Mandarins was played by Colin Tapley, who himself was a pre-war actor but served in 1 Group Bomber Command as an ATC Officer at Wickenby. He features in Jack Curries book Lancaster Target.
Did you spot the guard who stood outside the briefing room door..Patrick McGoohan..aka The Prisoner.
