There is trouble in Paris and Lisa is about to get in very deep water in nearby Senlis. But when her uncle Gaston finds himself interrogated by Kessler himself it is set to be a dark day for Lifeline.  As they review Too Near Home, AJ and Andy discuss its writer, master of suspense and spy storytelling - Robert Barr, the reliably distinctive direction of Viktors Ritelis and, thanks to the appearance of Souad Faress as Maria, the hidden history of the people of colour who played key roles as airmen and resistance workers during the war.  They also find themselves critiquing plot contrivances at the Pontoise Prison and Lifeline communication failures, and due to Jeffrey Holland's presence even singing the theme to 'Oh Dr Beeching'!  Get your handkerchiefs at the ready because it's time for the once seen, never forgotten, Too Near Home.  We also hear from Jem Fell (@jemfellpoetry) who remembers the power of Secret Army's title sequence.  Next Time: A special mid-month episode relating to the Candide.  ______________________________________________________________________ The books that AJ mentions in the episode are: - Under Fire: Black Britain in Wartime 1939-45 by Stephen Bourne - The Story of Britain's Black Airmen by K.
