🗣️NEW EPISODE

This week we explore the incredible career of the brilliant and prolific British character actor Percy Herbert. Chances are if you’ve seen some of the all time classic war movies of the 1950s, 60s and 70s then you’ll recognise Percy Herbert. We are thrilled to be joined by his daughter Katrina Wood!

Katrina shares some incredible stories about her father and the many films he worked on. With over 90 film and TV appearances he became one of Britain’s most recognisable supporting actors with roles in Cockleshell Heroes, A Hill In Korea, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Sea of Sand, Tunes of Glory Guns at Batasi, Tobruk and The Wild Geese.

We’ve partnered up with the excellent podcast Fighting On Film which is hosted by the excellent pair of history buffs Matthew Moss of The Armourers Bench and Robbie McGuire of RM Military History.

The podcast discuses war films of all genres and really excels at getting into the nitty gritty of war and conflict on the big screen. I can personally highly recommend it and look forward to working with them more in the future.
