Ray Mears has done a tv series about a WW2 commando raid on a german heavy water factory (The real heroes of Telemark).

Does anyone know if it's available on dvd / iplayer or Dave? I can't find it other than 10min stints on youtube but that is getting slightly irritating.

Cheers


Also, any less well known war films you'd recommend?
 
Not heard of it on DVD but you can get the paperback:

The Real Heroes of Telemark: The True Story of the Secret Mission to Stop Hitler's Atomic Bomb

well....they aren't exactly making it easy for me to part with cash.

I could buy the book but I'd prefer the tv series
It's a little like Michael Palin travel series - more fun to watch than to read about ( I've only read his Himalaya book)

"Dear Ray,

If you find the time between fashioning a canoe out of a dead rhino's skin and eating a reindeer's stomach contents, any chance you could burn me a copy of your tv series about the Telemark raid?"

words to that effect ;)
 
I've seen it umpteen times repeated on Sky. Patience is your friend.....

Either that or a big Cutlass, gold hoop earing and a parrot on your shoulder. ;)
