Where Eagles Dare – with special guest Tim Shipman

Watching the war movies that made us the men* we are today, with authors Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. This time: “Broadsword calling Danny Boy!” It’s the big one as we skydive in on the Platonic ideal of the war-action pic, the 1968 classic Where Eagles Dare. Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton must break Allied asset General Carnaby out of Nazi prison the Schloß Adler with the pulchritudinous aid of Mary Ure. But is all what it seems? Sunday Times chief political commentator Tim Shipman joins us to let out the rallying cry: “Dad, they’re on the cable car!”
