Colin H @RT77234470 12/28/2023 I loved this show and it was an engaging and dramatic take on a little seen part of the British war effort. Great lead actors and some superb London locations now consigned to the history books it's a great one to watch for those who love military dramas or want to get inside the heads of how 1970s Britain viewed WW2.
