Pure puke, there I said it, I'll say it again pure puke. My two granddaughters agree with me, pure puke.

The only redeeming feature is that it ends.

How to avoid a good plot line, keep going back and forward in time repeating scenes and events (saves on production costs as well). anyone who thought the music score was good knows nothing about music, monotonous, dull, and annoyingly repetitive. The acting in the main was near to useless apart from Mark Rylance.

I bet any Spitfire pilots that are left would be green with envy at the amount of ammunition these radio controlled aircraft managed to carry, at least 50 times more than the real thing. Also the majority of the small craft were requisitioned on commandeered, they weren't brave civvies going to rescue our lads, they were forced by navel officers to use their boats, that's a matter of historical fact.

Kenneth Branagh's acting sounded like he couldn't be bothered to turn up.

Only Rylance's acting prompts me to two stars.

Having grown up with the original series, indeed the first colour TV we had switched on to an episode of Star Trek, I can say I would be enjoying this DVD "re run" in whatever way it'd presented, just happy to giggle at tribbles and sparkly dressed Klingons again.

In the days when we weren't saturated with instant news, the country was able to relax and just let the politicians get on with it. They may or may not have been incorruptible but they were left to get on with running the country. It's good to see the weaker side of one of Britain's most influential statesmen and Gambon does the job with dignity.
