Georgie leaves London just ahead of a scandal and discovers that Scotland can be just as dangerous. Someone is targeting the royal family. Can she find out who it is? This series is light and fun, and I enjoyed every minute of my visit to 1932 Great Britain.

A great unknown masked hero
Set in a universes where Britain rules all and disease has destroyed alot of people including a rare virus where people were experimented on for a vaccine our rare hero emerges as one of the ones who survied the testing. He is geared towards taking down all the culprits behind the testing and the current British rule. Our heroine is a girl who wants to fight but needs to know why is at one point shown the way through a very harsh manor. This movie is very underrated and some of the fight scenes are great.

When I was at school, the Battle of Midway was barely touched upon.

The Somme? Yep.

The Battle of Britain? Absolutely.

Pearl Harbour? Briefly.

That, I'm guessing, would be completely different if I lived in America (instead of, as I do, Great Britain).

So Midway, itself, was a battle that I really only learnt about in later life and then really only in the most general of terms.

This movie seeks to retell the events that led up to, and occurred within, that battle after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbo(u)r that led to the US joining the Second World War, Unfortunately, it's largely forgettable (and largely bloodless), with none of the cast really making all that much of an impact.
