- TriviaHollywood producer Edgar Peterson asked Patrick Macnee to produce the British end of the project. At first Macnee only served as the head of the London production staff and conducted interviews with various military people who had worked with Churchill. But when Peterson was fired, Macnee suddenly found himself in charge and was tasked to hire a new director. Patrick immediately contacted his next door neighbor, John Schlesinger. Macnee left the production when he was offered to co-star in The Avengers (1961) and a pay rise from 50 pounds a week to 150 pounds.
Featured review
Unable to Forget
My father watched this whenever it was on (about 7.00pm ish - can't recall the weekday), and I watched it with him. He was 41 in 1953 when I was born, so he must have been around 48, and I was 7 in 1960. I never missed a programme. His father died in 1943, having been a professional soldier, and fought in South Africa in 1900. Father was in the 6th A.A.Artillary. HKSRA., and then FMSVF until 1940. Mother lost a younger brother in WW2, and uncle aged 41 (on HMS Hood), and her father was in WW1 in France. She rarely watched it. It still remains with me as a significant reminder of the things they must have recently been through, and the stirring theme is unforgettable. I'm only 57, but feel a bit stranded by the fact that not many people seem to know anything about this series. This, and 'All Our Yesterdays', were my personal introduction to what my parents couldn't explain. Surely there must be some viewable remains ? My dad took me to the pictures in Hunstanton in 1962 to see 'The Longest Day', (my kids call it The Longest Film) and had to come out to buy Calamine lotion for my sunburnt legs - he missed the film.
