Each week, a different film, sometimes brought along by a guest.
What will win the Broadsword Radio Prize For The Most Implausible Moment?
Who will take the Cooler King Award For Most Gratuitous American?
And what gets the coveted Dam Busters Dog Prize For Most Problematic Moment?

For the second week running, we're with Australian troops, this time in the 1941 defence of Tobruk. Desert Rats took its name from a different unit, and quite a few liberties with the history, but it also delivered a some terrific scenes of commandos sneaking through the enemy lines on do-or-die missions, and caught Richard Burton as he was on the brink of stardom. And then of course there's James Mason, James Masoning.
Next week: Malta Story.
