The Story of the Costume Drama. 5 of 5. A Call to Arms.

Apologies. Something in part 4 must have set off an alarm and it was blocked.

First broadcast 5th December 2008.

Costume dramas spawned an army of dashing heroes in uniform, but not all fought with the aplomb of Sharpe or Horatio Hornblower. The Monocled Mutineer opened a controversial chapter of WWI and A Piece of Cake's flying stunts rewrote the Battle of Britain.
