  Battle of BritainThere are few occasions in history when we can say that the actions of a few changed the destiny - not just of a country - but of the world. The Battle of Britain is one of those moments. To mark the Anniversary of the Battle of Britain arguably the most important event in modern British history brothers Colin and Ewan McGregor present a ninety minute special for BBC1 leading us through the timeline of events during the height of the Battle. Colin is an R.A.F veteran of twenty years' service - Ewan a hero of the big screen and fledgling pilot himself. Together they take us on a journey to honour the heroes of 1940 both on the ground and in the air bringing the story of the Battle of Britain to a new generation. They will take to the skies over Southern England as Spitfires and Hurricanes once again fly over the White Cliffs of Dover. They discover the legacy of the Battle and reveal the inspiring personal stories of the few who were there and those still with us today. Using great aerial footage mixed with impressive historical archive film material this is truly the definitive programme on the Battle of Britain. Bomber BoysBrothers Colin and Ewan McGregor follow up their documentary The Battle of Britain with a film exploring Bomber Command a rarely-told story from the Second World War. The film focuses primarily on the men who fought and died in the skies above occupied Europe with numerous examples of individual heroism and extraordinary collective spirit and Colin learns to fly the key aircraft of the campaign: the Lancaster bomber. But this is also the story of a controversy that has lasted almost 70 years. The programme covers six years of wartime operations and traces the obstacles and challenges that were overcome as the RAF developed and deployed the awesome fighting force that was Bomber Command. First LightThrown into the crucible of the most violent air war ever seen a boy barely out of school is determined to fight for survival... Seventy years later that same boy is still yearning to be free. At the age of nineteen Geoffrey 'Boy' Wellum was the youngest Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain. This is the dramatic story of the teenager who went to war with the Nazis and with the fear that threatened to engulf him. Combining Geoffrey Wellum's compelling first person testimony with intensely evocative action on the ground and in the air 'First Light' is a powerful drama that documents the universal stark horror experienced by those involved in battle.
