Description
This week we have a very special episode where we tap into a topic close to Matt's heart, the PIAT. Matt wrote a book about the PIAT, or Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank, in 2020 and continues to research its history. One of the most interesting aspects of the PIAT is its unique cultural history, having been portrayed in a plethora of films spanning over 70 years. Most famously it was heralded, literally, when Anthony Hopkins as Lt. Colonel Frost in A Bridge Too Far shouted 'BRING UP THE PIAT!' A line which has become iconic. But there's so much more to the PIAT's onscreen career!Follow us on Twitter @FightingOnFilm and on Facebook. For more check out our website www.fightingonfilm.comThanks for listening!
