I especially love it when lines of Len's original dialogue are used.<br /><br />The opening animation, with the Spitfires talking off to challenge the Luftwaffe is quite wondeful. I was inclined to think that in this telling perhaps the British threw in the towel after September 1940 but later there is a mention of the Dover landing.<br /><br />A couple of points regarding the TV production which I was disappointed were missed:<br />The scene at the school where the children are persuaded to sing as they are taken away on the bus, "if you are happy and you know it.." etc<br /><br />At the General's detention centre, the scene where Douglas talkes to the British general and later the scene where the young man is trying out his false leg.<br /><br />But even in a five episode production I guess we can't have everything.<br /><br />No complaints from me about inaudible dialogue. I'm watching on BBC iplayer with the subtitles on!<br /><br />I hope we'll now get to see that long promised production of Bomber.<br /><br />best regards<br />Terry Kidd<br /><br />Terry Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888160718812027224noreply@blogger.com
