I too watched this program and, as a young teenager throughout the war, I was very disappointed in it. It included Coventry to a great extent and that was a seperate issue in that it suffered greatly in one attack whilst Birmingham was attacked many times over a period of months. Also I thought that David Harewood was a poor choice for presenter He was born well after the war and his parents did not arrive here until 1960 so they did not have any memories of the blitz to pass on to him. Someone like Carl Chinn was needed.
