Defending The Realm

To commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a defining moment of the Second World War, much-loved British actor David Jason (Only Fools and Horses, The Darling Buds of May, A Touch of Frost) presents this documentary account of that pivotal event in the summer of 1940. In this uplifting program, he recounts the astonishing story of the small band of heroic pilots who fought and won what was arguably the most crucial battle of the whole war. He speaks with the last of the RAF fighter pilots, “the Few” and some of “the Many” – the thousands of ordinary Brits who pulled together to play their part in defending their country against German invasion. From airplane spotters to ground crew to Fighter Command plotters, David honors them all.
