Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

robertm_herts Finally, bloody finally, I was able to 'get' this awesome comic wartime two-parter from the talented John Sullivan ('Only Fools And Horses' fame) about the Yanks being over here (in England) and the interactions between the RAF & USAAF crews. I remember seeing in the Radio Times in England in 1996 about this upcoming series, and was excited to see something about the RAF & USAAF. Somewhere back home I have the cut-outs from this article. As a kid, I didn't appreciate the humor (I was only 15 at the time). Who can forget Group Captain Barker's (Martin Clunes) exaggerated twitch at the mention of Luftwaffe or the closing scene when you see which of the cast dies in the course of the War - I've paused the moment Old Archie pauses at the Lytchmere Memeorial to look at the names, and you can see some of the characters on there - which makes it all the more hard-hitting - a very beautiful scene. When Archie tells Lenko outside the hospital about watching his friends blown up really hits the right spot, a big punch amongst the comical situations. Our grandparents served in this time, and from what I have read about the 'loose' antics of the RAF pilots, they get it spot on here. The words and phrases are perfect, really making you feel you are there with the characters. I love Archie's impeccable accent and fantastic English-ness. There's a young cast of 'unknowns' including Sam West (Archie), Corey Johnson (B-17 Commander), and a young Tony Curran (Dougie). Every character and supporting cast are spot-on perfect. In the US I believe it was released as 'Over There'. I could go on and on about this, but there's not enough space on here... all I can say is... True classic that has been aired a few times with limited DVD release. If you get a chance to watch it or find the torrent, DO so!! You WILL not disappointed.

WxFz This two-episoder is packed with superb one-liners, lovable pomposity, and, while there is quite a bit of national leg-pulling, nothing which could be called malicious. - WHY is this not available ??? I recorded the two-parter on video when it was broadcast and lent it to many friends who agreed that it was one of the best shows they had seen. Unfortunately the video became lost - I've waited for a BBC repeat in vain : I'm sure if the BBC were to make it available, it would fly up the bestseller lists ! and 'in a funny sort of way' it would !! Martin Clunes as Group Captain Barker is no less than superb, and is backed up by some very fine talent all round.

joesadler I was an extra on Over Here while I was in the USAF stationed in the UK. We filmed our part at RAF Sculthorpe, an old disused USAF base, just north of our base in Norfolk. We really had a lot of fun, and got paid! The director, Tony Dow had it right using us, we were disciplined, trained to react to an attack (that was us in the Airfield Bombardment) and could wear a uniform. The scene where I called the room to attention was me! I was a senior NCO so had done this a few times before:) It was amazing, because the GI's jumped, but you could tell the actors were a little unused to snapping to attention!Also, you do not look around but look straight until you hear the command, as you were, or take your seats. Anyway, I digress, please BBC, put it on DVD!

David Jenkinson A superb two parter from John Sullivan. Why did it never go to series when rubbish like 'the office' does? And why oh why is it not available on DVD. If anyone out there can get it tell me! If you have not seen it then I would recommend it. Brilliantly cast and superbly written and performed. EXCELLENT! Martin Clunes is great as Group Captain 'Bare With Me' Barker and bounces wonderfully off Todd Boyce's character. Sam West, played in the modern day by his father, Tim, is a master of comic timing and portrays the cheeky, lovable RAF Squadron Leader Archie Bunting as though he were meant to play him. Over sexed and over here, that is as maybe, but the RAF were at it far before the Yanks turned up.
