Excellent series

[@DiverforPort]

I remember watching this episode and was crying.

[@greywolf852]

The actor playing the grumpy English father, Ray Smith, also played the grumpy boss (Spikings) in Dempsey & Makepeace, around the same time.

I really enjoy this show. I never watched it before. It is so good. Good acting good story lines. Thank you for posting. I'm not sure how many episodes to it. I don't want it to end.

[@sherylwilson6859]

Very early masters of the air!

[@marilynwainwright7578]

Was really sad when Mario was killed. Such a hard case..

[@Kingmick58]

I'll comment. Great series. Very enjoyable. Poor buggers. From the old Aussie.

[@samantha232]

Always been a lover of this series hence I've got it on DVD

[@tooManywaystoFall]

Wish more episodes were produced the story line could have continued a bit longer, thanks for posting

[@billb2479]

This is a great series. I'm surprised no comments

[@aidjunkie5335]

Poor Letty and Mario 😢

At 41:13, I saw this as a kid when it first aired and for a brief moment wondered if that was a B17 that'd just been left sitting there from WW2. I then thought how silly that was, but soon afterward found out there WERE still B17s sitting like that in remote areas, even later than this was filmed

[@Teresa-wm2uj]

This Yank loves this series.

[@raymondyee2008]

21:43 I wonder if that was the 525th Bombardment Squadron on their mission to attack the chemical plant in Ludwigshafen.

[@Droodog127]

lol poor little letty has the worst luck

[@cacampbell3654]

I love dramas that are historical fiction! I appreciate these long tv series that can explore an aspect of a time and place (in this case, of course, WWII in a rural community close to London) in some depth. The bbc seems to do an exceptionally fine job of expressing what first was (I believe this idea was first made into a simple understandable slogan by feminists) a feminist belief : the personal is political!

[@ralphyznaga1761]

That explosion was so devastating, it transformed the B-17 into a burning B-29.

[@HowardHalifax]

Lol....I know. Archive footage fail.

[@neveniusvondubowatz7705]

In 1943. Amazing! :D

[@judyhopps9380]

lol, good spot. I can forgive it in a low budget british tv show from the 70s. My favourite is the movie Midway with Charlton Heston. One devestator (maybe a Hellcat) explodes and becomes a Heinkel 111. Another crash lands on deck and becomes an F9F jet

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

How does that posho girl, Pat, get away without having a job? The other girl, who used to clean for them, was sent to the parachute factory, but she gets to stay home and play house.

[@dindinprivate3477]

She applied for the WAAF and they discovered a spot on her lung. She has to rest and return for another exam in a couple of months. TB was seriously prevalent in those days...

[@SusanKelly-ox2kk]

Looks like they used some original footage of the bombing raids

[@alicehudson8079]

Great series but, as usual in those WWII films, some women are just too unrealistically glam. The middle-aged wife of a small-town grocery store owner would not be wearing eye-liner and mascara would definitely not have shaped brows, and not a hair out of place. What's wrong with being realistic? The story stands on its own.

[@1928gerry]

The disappointment is that the Americans are cursing and swearing all the time which I don't understand. i never knew Americans but it doesn't seem credible that in 1943, they would be doing it all the time, even in front of the ladies. America has always prided itself on being a Christian country so this makes a farce of the kind of pride they have always expressed in being a country chosen by God. Yes, they had more luxuries, but they certainly didn't have manners.

[@duglife2230]

I think it's just the way British usually portray Americans. Though most military people you meet from any nation are most likely going to swear more than most ordinary folks. It's just something they pick up in the military, whether civilians like it or not.

[@mckavitt]

Duglife No, we Americans curse like sailors. All the time.

[@mckavitt]

1928gerry Sorry about that. America may “pride itself on being Christian” (pride is a cardinal sin, btw) & the way we live (& vote!) does perhaps make a farce of that, & we also swear like troupers... all the time.
