Congratulations for putting on 'Tenko' and 'The Secret Army'. Fantastic! However there is a another series I would like to campaign for.
Testament of Youth for those who don't remember, was the BBC's adaptation of Vera Brittains book, in which her lover, Brother and two greatest friends died in the Great War. She herself served as A VAD and served at Etaples military hospital in France.
I would give anything to see this series again, and I think it would pull in large audiences as it is so well known ie as in 'Tenko', particularly with the growing interest in the Great War. I have been to Vera's fiancee's grave in FRance, and it was very moving.
I urge UKTV History to take this idea on board.
