Having sort of started this debate with my comment about ‘talking heads’, may I withdraw my remark about ‘trendy presenters’ including Ms.Churchill, whom I now acknowledge as an accredited expert on the subject and look forward to her future TV contributions, and reiterate that my main point was that despite the slight flaws (to me as an aviation enthusiast), I thoroughly enjoyed the programme.

As I pointed out in the opening sentence of my first reply, I was agreeing with many (subsequent) posters here that the programme was aimed at the layman, and for getting its point across very,very well it must be applauded.

I’ve watched it again on 4OD, it was that good. The aerial scenes are great. Apart from the rubbish flak bursts, but that was a budgetary matter, I’m sure, and won’t have troubled the intended audience.

See, still griping.
