elbekko Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Looks like a nice series. Does it occur in this episode? 1940sRoaring into the 1940s Chris finds out there's nothing like a war to create technological change. He mans a fire pump to tackle a Blitz-style blaze and steps into an RAF control centre to discover how radar helped win the Battle of Britain. From spy planes to powerboats, jet engines to shrapnel-proof fire engines, Chris shows how new innovations helped defeat Hitler. But then we needed brand new tractor and car designs to help build the peace that followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbekko Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Indeed excellent programme, just saw the first 3 eps, too bad the one advertised as 1940s was actually 1930s, so no LR yet. But I still can't unsee Rimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
