Set your Sky+/video for Discovery History at 10pm tonight if you want to catch the first in a new four-part series telling the stories of some of our most courageous fellow human beings.
To coincide with the opening of the new Lord Ashcroft Gallery at the Imperial War Museum and the peer's new book George Cross Heroes (of which all royalties are going to the VC and GC Association), each episode of the TV series of the same name will see Lord Ashcroft tell the stories of some of the individuals awarded the highest medal awarded for courage outside military action.
We are promised "eyewitness testimony, gritty reconstruction and compelling storytelling, taking you on a rollercoater of suspense and jeopardy, right to the heart of each courageous story."
