  • A somber portrait of the war. A well done film to steel your nerves back in that day.It must have been tough to go to bed every night knowing your house might be blown up and your family or neighbors killed. Thanks Cleaner this series is good.

  • I'm told that Churchill caught some grief over the "We can take it" line. Somewhat similar to George Bush and "Bring it on".

    • @john1054 I never heard that before. I bet early in the war that's the last thing people wanted to hear was we can take a beating. Of course it does serve a purpose to let your enemy know that he won't be able to intimidate you or bloody your nose into surrendering.

  • Do you think they looted?
    No way!
    They lived and died as one.

    would it be the same today?
    Just wondering, don't bite!

  • If war should come to Britain? war has never come to Britain, we started 99% of every war we've had. We want your land, give it to us! fine, we'll fight you for it.

    • @420pm "war has never come to Britain"... ?? I think you should to talk to some of your elders, especially ones who survived The Blitz. Oh, and there are still a few veterans of the Battle of Britain who could set you straight.

    • @TheSidewinder you think Germany declared war on Britian? your dumb as fuck, Germany invaded Poland so we declared war on them. How many wars can you name were war was declared on Britain? Check your sources 'cos they just made you look stupid.
