12 O'clock High! was produced in black and white, the setting was an American bomber group based in England. If memory serves me right, it was produced in the very late fifties.I don't think that Combat or 12 O'clock High was on the tele in England, were they old black and whites from the 60's? We did get Hogan's Hero's though, I think there is talk of making this into a film which is maybe not such a good idea with all of todays political correctness.

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence was good and bad at the same time, what I didn't like about it was the mitigation given to the Japanese.
If she asked me nicely I would watch it with her.
There actually was a tv series here in the U.S. during the 60's called 12 O'Clock High! and it portrayed the 918th Bg of the 8th AF based in England. Was a pretty good show and they had access to props back then that would be worth a fortune today!...Bye the way, '12 o' Clock High' was a movie, shot in the UK, not a TV show, and was (possibly still is) used a training and discussion aid at RMA, Sandhurst, to illustrate leadership qualities.
Thanks for that. I hadn't realised it was also a TV show in the 'States. I wonder if it can be found on DVD?
It's also reminded me of another B-17 movie - 'The War Lover', filmed at Bovingdon, UK (where 633 Squadron was also filmed, and not to be confused with Bovington, where the tank museum is located). I've got a great photo of a B-17 doing a very low-level pass for the movie, although I haven't actually seen the movie, which apparently has some good aircraft and action scenes in it.
Yep, much like the Batman release that had Danny DeVito and Schwarzeneggar in it. I got the movie for Christmas back in the 90's after it hit the theaters and there it sits in the movie cabinet, still wrapped in it's plastic...and there it shall remain untouched for all time.Sounds like another movie to avoid...like "Brokeback Mountain". Ain't watched it, never will.
