I have stopped writing gaffes and trivia about this series because they were never printed and have written this review. The drama is not true to life and doesn't try to be which is a regret for my generation whose parents grew up then and bore witness to the events of the 1930s. A neighbour's father was Mosley's chauffeur and and my mother said the uni students would go down and take on the fascists. Mosley for example always wore a peaked cap at rallies and spoke with one arm akimbo. One message was simple and popular: 'Old men stayed in their offices and made profits from the Great War (1914) while sending other men's sons to their deaths in the trenches'. There were similar messages after VP Cheney made whopping great profits for his companies rebuilding Iraq after Bush's War had flattened it. Churchill as Home Secretary was given fantastical lines which I don't he ever thought let alone said. 'I must come and stay with a gypsy family' - I don't think so. MPs were reading from notes which they weren't allowed to - I could go on picking. Fantastic television. So what it it never happened ! There is a film where John Wayne won the Vietnam War ( he didnt )
