The Victoria Cross: for Valour

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In 1944 Major Robert Cain won what was described as the finest Victoria Cross of the Second World War. In an effort to find out what Cain did to win his medal and to discover what it takes to be a VC winner, Jeremy Clarkson travels to the scene of the battle, talks to military experts and meets eyewitnesses. He also meets some of the 15 living recipients of an honour that has been conferred only 1,354 times.
