ESPRESSO T.V.

A Most Secret Service

2 x 26'

A two part ITV series

Programme 1: 'Missions By Moonlight' - Hugh Verity was a night flight pilot in WW2 until 1942 when he volunteered for RAF special duties and became involved in one of the most extraordinary and effective operations of the secret war - flying from England’s Sussex coast in single-engined Lysander aircraft and landing in German occupied France delivering and collecting agents of the French Resistance in absolute secrecy - by the light of the moon. This is the story of those secret missions by moonlight.

Programme 2: 'Secret Songs' - I was good at languages and I could sing songs. Between 1941-44 Diana Viscomtesse de Rosso moved in the shadowy world of secret agents and secret information as a private courier for two of the most powerful spymasters of World War Two.
