Tankies: Tank Heroes of WW11

Sunday evening BBC2, 2100hrs, Tankies: Tank Heroes of WW11. A two part story of six men from the Fifth Royal Tank Regiment during the Second World War. Good on details, German ergonomics and unseen letters and diaries. Should be interesting, Mick

Now all I have to do is negotiate space on the Sky+ planner from the missus

All the tanks in the reconstructions were Tank Museum running examples, as far as I could tell. I guess it was filmed somewhere behind the scenes at Bovington?
Good to see Normandy from the British perspective.
