On the 65th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden, I thought at least one of the main TV channels would have run 'A Bridge Too Far'. But it seems space is limited for all the cracking new content they have for us.
Let's see what delights they are entertaining us with instead this Sunday afternoon. (rpt. indicates repeat )
Nope, they're right I can see nothing there that could have been moved for a film showing the bravery and courage of the Airborne forces during the Second World War.
A note to program schedulers, "You utter, utter tossers, I despise you all."

Yes and no Puss. I find the historical distortions in ABTF almost too infuriating to watch. If Dickie Darling had the balls of Cubby Broccoli, and had insisted on historical fidelity à la 'Battle of Britain' it might have been different - ah well...

The problem with history is that knowing it galls you when others completely dismiss it. Particularly when there is heroes' blood involved.
