Oldman is very, very good. I’m sure he’s up to the job.

This is an odd bit of casting, indeed. The only film I've seen Oldman in
is *Air Force One, *where he played a nasty Russian ultranationalist
terrorist. I'd have to see a trailer for *Darkest Hour *first, before
deciding if he's any good or not!

Jon, Fascinating choice of actors and actresses. Yes I agree that sticking
close to John's book is a great start. The writers had better double check the
National Archives at Kew and review the Cabinet Minutes of May 10 1940 and the
follow up notes. Setting the stage back to the Munich
I am hoping it will be based closely on John Kukacs' book *Five Days in
May, 1940*. But I am also wondering about the choice of Gary Oldman as
Churchill.

This has great potential. I hope they get it right. Who will be their
historical advisors? Do they have one or two already? I had heard a rumor that
Lord David Owen is in the midst of a book on this period of history. He maybe.
