The BBC has enlisted Ewan McGregor and his RAF pilot brother Colin to recreate the experience of World War II fighter pilots for a major season to mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
The brothers will fly across the skies of England in Spitfires in the one-off BBC1 documentary, The Real Battle Of Britain, guided by surviving pilots, radar operators and ground-crew from the war.
The 90-minute documentary sees Lion Television take to the skies again following its aerial geographical history series Britain From Above. BBC history and business commissioning editor Martin Davidson has assembled a series of programmes across the BBC to mark the September anniversary.
