I thought they made too many assumptions about why Peter refused to join the Pioneer Corps. And Tamzin didn't ask Iris if she knew anything about his experiences in the internment camp, or at least, not on camera. Surely a lot of the men who joined the army in WW2, voluntarily or conscripted, were worried about what would happen to the families they left behind, but they went anyway. Would Adelmo really have been in such extreme danger that Peter didn't dare to leave him there for even a few days, as they made out? And wasn't he worried about his grandfather still in Barga, and wanting to save him from the fascists?
