Hi All,
Just finished watching this fine programme - for me definitely the pick of the bunch of the BBC's BOB season.
Provocative and very well informed. As someone who knows his way around the standard story of the battle pretty well there was enough here to really keep me engrossed and a few nuggets that were genuinely new to me.
Better quality of archive footage than usual as well - some great aerial footage of 109s especially.
He also made a pretty convincing argument [starting at ~34mins] that the 109 was the best fighter in 1940 - and yes I have heard ALL the arguments before.
Viewable on BBC iPlayer here:

though I believe unfortunately not accessible for non-UK residents
Highly recommended.
