Netflix's "Churchill's Secret Agents: The New Recruits"
Hello dear listeners!
Imagine if you could travel back in time to WWII, when spycraft was a far cry from the game it is today. Even as a simple civilian you could be recruited and trained as a spy to perform various tasks and trades to help the Allied forces push the tide of the war. It’s both a frightening and exhilarating proposition.
No, hosts Mathieu and Edgar have not built a time machine. Rather, Netflix and the BBC took care of that for them! This week on the show the boys review the 2018 miniseries Churchill’s Secret Agents: The New Recruits, a reality television show that has ordinary people partake in a WWII era and authentic training regime to become part of the Special Operations Executive.
A relatively brief series with only 5 episodes, the show is explored in great detail by the lads, who take note of some of the more important details that struck their curiosity.
How come it’s always the little mousy ones that would be ready to kill a man?
Could one become a member of the SOE if one was afraid of heights?
Even the grandmothers are hot, so it was exactly like a James Bond movie.
French and German officers spoke impeccable English.
There’s no time to faff around, so get ready for another thrilling instalment of The James Bond Complex, early 1940s style!
