Bert and Dickie Review

Print

Matt Smith (Doctor Who) stars alongside Sam Hoare as Bert Bushnell and Dickie Burnell, two young men who rowed for Britain in the 1948 Olympic Games - and won a gold medal.

This moving one-off film follows the men's remarkable story as they prepare to represent their country in a bomb-scarred London for the austerity games.  

July on BBC One
