What's on the TV today?

My Grandparents’ War:…

New series starts tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm. Kicks off with Kit Harington.

My Grandparents' War season 2: air date, celebrities and all about the wartime ancestry series

On TV tonight, Kit Harington follows his grandfather's footsteps in My Grandparents' War

 

Modesty forbids him, but “our” Frank made an appearance and important and moving contribution in the part about Kit’s grandfather at Cassino.

Well done sir!

 

The Goodies, “War Babies”.

Showing tonight at 9.35pm, repeated at 12.55am on the that’s TV channel (Freeview 65, Sky 183, Freesat 178).

The plot:

“Tim, Graeme and Bill are 2 year old boys during WWII. After leaving their parents to go to a school for intelligent boys, they are sent on an important mission to Germany.”

I recall the scene with the two German sentries, parodying war movies, is most amusing and uncannily accurate.

 

World Cup! Today and until the final match

 

'Went the day well' is available on Channel 4 catch up. It is the restored version and is crisp and clear. It's been a delight to watch.

 

“Manhunt” starts its run tonight on Talking Pictures TV, 9pm.

 

Not on tv today, unless you’re reading this on the day the series starts, but this Sunday, 17th March, on BBC2 at 5pm, Saving Lives At Sea in WWII.

Stories about the RNLI during the war, something different eh.

 

9pm tonight, More4, Warplane Workshop, “Flight of the Tempest”. Restoring a Hawker Tempest, as you’ve doubtless assumed.

Short notice, sorry, but repeats tonight at 5 minutes past midnight.

 

Thought I’d just bump this for anyone interested today .
