Tonight at 9 on BBC One:

Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Brothers Colin and Ewan McGregor follow up their documentary The Battle of Britain with a film exploring Bomber Command, a rarely-told story from the Second World War.

The film focuses primarily on the men who fought and died in the skies above occupied Europe, with numerous examples of individual heroism and extraordinary collective spirit, and Colin learns to fly the key aircraft of the campaign: the Lancaster bomber. But this is also the story of a controversy that has lasted almost 70 years.

The programme covers six years of wartime operations, and traces the obstacles and challenges that were overcome as the RAF developed and deployed the awesome fighting force that was Bomber Command. < Show less

Thanks! Recording...

Thanks Jens. I've already commandeered the box.

Nice one McGonigle, I was just about to post a heads up for people myself but you beat me to it! Looks like it could be good. Auto channel change has been on since this afternoon heheh.

For those who don't know, Ewans brother Colin is a former RAF Tornado pilot.

Tak! Jeg optager.

Crap,I would have missed this,thanks McGonigle

They first time I met them I thought they're a nice pair, very easy going and not at all what I was expecting. Last year just re-enforced that view. Would have liked to have seen the program but she who must be obeyed has the remote...

Maybe you can catch it on iPlayer Harry?

Extremely little about the Lancaster in that show, quite a lot about the old guys who flew it and very much about the McGregor brothers... All rounded off with some confused comments about area bombing and what to think about it. Meh.

Well, it was called 'Bomber Boys' so it's not that surprising. I thought it was a very well made programme.
