so history needs to be dumbded down so tv audiences can take it ?
It wasn’t billed as a ‘history lesson’. According to the BBC :
“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”
Since when do you expect history lessons to focus primarily on “individual heroism” ?
The BBC does also produce history programmes, for those they often use highly qualified historians such as Simon Schama in A History of Britain.
If you wanted to watch only a history programme, then this was clearly not what you should have been watching.
I suspect though trailmonkey, you weren’t much bothered what you were watching, just as long as you could have a good ol’ whinge and moan afterwards about ‘dumbing down’. And tell us how British TV audiences should only watch programmes which have been approved by you.
