    CT is I think pretty reasonable in what he says , it is possible to have a father who said little and it is I agree with him very much a benchmark of that generation, will look forward to seeing this.

    For those interested in the Arnhem area - Chris Tarrant's father was there:

    Basil Tarrant was a young Lieutenant in the Berks' No. 8 Beach Group, whom after it was abolished was posted to the 5th Wilts. He fought his way with B-Coy through The Odon Box, The Capture of Hill 112, The Capture of Maltot, The Capture of Mont Pinçon and The Crossing of the river Seine at Vernon.
    At South Arnhem he fought between the farm and the level crossing (visited by the group in June 2011). By the time of the Groesbeek Winter line he had made Captain and won the MC leading a combat patrol. He went into Op Veritable as a 2i/c and was finally demobbed as a Wilts Company Commander.

    Did you invite Soren on-location for episode 2?
    Or is there a restraining order already in place?

    Will it be possible to watch the series online?

    Maybe? I used to play Would of Warcraft with some Dutch Girls who seemed to be able to watch UK on demand stuff I don't know how they did it.

    This looks like a really interesting series and obviously well researched. Well done Paul.
