On this week's episode, Rob and Duncan are hobnobbing with stars including Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall for The Eagle Has Landed! Based on the 1975 novel by Jack Higgins (and released only a year later) John Sturges' film tells the story of a fiendish German plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. Michael Caine is a German! Donald Sutherland is an Irishman! The whole world is topsy-turvy: but, crucially, was this the operation that changed the course of the war?

Presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon.

Executive produced by Nick Hilton for Podot.

Produced and edited by Ewan Cameron.
