I'd broadly agree with that. The dishonrable exception would be RadioFive (odd, because I rarely listen to their non-cricket content!);
they seemed just delighted at every veteran (or descendant of a veteran) they spoke to; "Great stories we're hearing today!

I'd recommend the BBC docco last night about the spies (well, double+triple agents in fact) behind the whole fake invasion plan deception. 5 people - of various nationalities - who probably contributed as much to the D-Day success as the whole Russian army.
