With respect, that’s a bit churlish, isn’t it. It’s one thing to make a dramatic, fictional film and approximate the effects of the bombing but to reproduce as accurately and meticulously as possible what actually happened, interspersed with the living memories of the diminishing number of survivors might bring home to people the horror of what it must have been like.
As Tony Robinson remarked, some of us lived with the fear of the chances of a terrorist bomb in specifically targeted areas, but that is a very long way from the real fear, night after night, of a rain of bombs blowing us, our property and our friends and loved ones to oblivion, or worse to be left with appalling and perhaps terminal injuries.
