Watching this film reminds us that no matter which side we lean on the political spectrum. Left,right or centre. That there are people in this world who will commit the most horrid of crimes to change the government, even if the blood of children must be used. It reminds us that we must not get to indoctrinated in our believes or political leanings to much otherwise we to could become a fanatic like the terrorist who committed this horror. We must not forget that there are Alt right fanatics and even far left extremists out there willing to commit these acts. The film was well acted, kept a good pace and showed in detail the pain and suffering a tragedy commits on the innocents caught in them. no matter your political opinions left,right etc i say give this film a look as i said before it covers the tragedy of loss due to terror attack well. Remember any day in this unsettled world any of us to could be in situation similar to this.

It's an okay show, tells you about the AOE and how they trained and performed their roles in WW2. But some of the stuff taught and tactics used are very questionable and make you have some doubts about the sources the BBC use sometimes. The show is let down though by some questionable decisions of which contestants are allowed through and which aren't. Some got through when they should not have passed, others let go when they should have been allowed to continue. Smelled a bit like the BBC were handpicking behind the scenes who passed or not and who really would have fit the bill and got passed in reality back in the 40s by the real SOE. for example: During episode 4 two people where allowed pass interrogation part of the test even though their cover stories had cracked and could not even give any good reason why they rooted through papers, and could not remember their mother and father's names. And would have been dealt with by the Germans as result. Honestly nearly all of the contestants on this show minor a few of them would have been booted from SOE and or killed very quickly post landing in Europe.
