Set at the outbreak of hostilities in 1939, Hornet Squadron is redeployed to France, where its pilots sit out the 'Phoney War' in relative comfort. However, with the advent of the Luftwaffe's air campaign during the summer of 1940, the squadron's character quickly changes as the 'Battle of Britain' begins. Review: Piece of Cake, great flying, good story line. Great Britain in its finest hour. - Piece of Cake is an awesome mini series that was slated by purists when it came out. However, it features wonderful flying a good story line. In this you will get a potted history of when Britain stood alone with its Commonwealth. Taking the viewer from when the war started, the fall of mainland Europe and the very real threat of invasion the UK faced. The characters are good and mostly likeable even Moggy in his own way. You will not see any CGI, so all the flying is real. The pilots include stalwarts of the UK airshow scene who are sadly no longer with us such as Father and Son Ray and Mark Hanna and Nick Grace. There are some low res copies of this out there, but this is a good version. Review: Unsettling but compelling - WWII fascinates me more than any other era in history. For as long as I can remember I've devoured books, documentaries, dramas, replica documents, anything I can find, and I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the subject. Then I watched this and found that my understanding had been taken up to a whole new level. I think to some extent, perception of WWII is a victim of its own propaganda, the pulling together and jolly sing-songs down the underground during air raids, and a lot of popular tv shows set during the war are comedies...Dad's Army, Allo' Allo', Goodnight Sweetheart... Piece of Cake is starkly realistic in its depiction of war and its human cost in lost life and and lasting damage, and the terrifying scale of the Luftwaffe in contrast with the RAF in the early stages of the war. It takes you into the mind of the Spitfire pilots and you wonder how they coped, but cope they did. This is an unsettling but superb series, a testimony to incredible courage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002GDM2XC | | Actors | Boyd Gaines, Neil Gudgeon, Tim Woodward, Tom Radcliffe | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 35,710 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 8,077 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) 11,285 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (287) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English | | Manufacturer reference | 5027626317744 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 10 x 10 x 1 cm; 100 g | | Rated | Suitable for 12 years and over | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 5 hours and 8 minutes | | Studio | Network | | Subtitles: | None | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Boyd Gaines, Neil Gudgeon, Tim Woodward, Tom Radcliffe - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 2 ## Images ![Piece Of Cake - The Complete Series [DVD] [1988] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q0Qo+ICsL.jpg) ![Piece Of Cake - The Complete Series [DVD] [1988] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zEIYontBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Piece of Cake, great flying, good story line. Great Britain in its finest hour. *by A***R on 13 February 2020* Piece of Cake is an awesome mini series that was slated by purists when it came out.

The chance to see the LWT series from 1988 was irresistible so I bought that too and received it yesterday and watched all six episodes in a binge session. The production, direction, script and acting are all very good and I enjoyed (almost) every moment. The series follows the major events in the book very well missing out only the parts that are not really needed for the continuity of the story. There are a few things that didn't please me as much The characters are quite often not as I imagined them or as they were portrayed in the book such as 'Moggy' Cattermole is not as nasty, air commodore Bletchley is not as avuncular, Chris Hart is not such a pain in the arsx, Yes! he was right. The other is the eye candy for the boys; the Spitfires. These are all late models that wouldn't be around in 1939 some armed with cannon even though the talk is of "Armed with 8 Browning machine guns" This didn't matter to me but I can imagine purists being outraged. The aerial photography is superb and I can imagine many people (men) watching the series just for glimpses of the Spitfires in action and becoming very excited. There is also proper love interest but it is thankfully brief. This is very good and you owe it to yourself to watch this evocation of the RAF Fighter Squadrons in the very early days of WW11 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48459323-piece-of-cake-the-complete-series-dvd-1988](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48459323-piece-of-cake-the-complete-series-dvd-1988) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
