War Movie Theatre

Battle of Britain


Listen Later

June 1940, and the podcast stands alone, facing a Nazi horde just across the Channel.

A Pod Too Far returns with a new series, and this week, Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon are joined by historian James Holland in his trusty Spitfire as they watch 1969’s Battle of Britain. Is it simply a series of brilliant aerial sequences mashed together with some composite characters? What’s the real claim to fame of the beach that plays Dunkirk? And would it be worse to be married to Christopher Plummer or Susannah York?

Never in the field of human podcasting have so many movie memes been discussed by so few.


A Pod Too Far was written and presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production and sound design by Simon Williams. Artwork by James Parret. Lead Producer is Anne-Marie Luff. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. A Pod Too Far is a Podmasters production.
