For all you Battle of Britain fanciers, PBS's Masterpiece Theatre is
running a 6-parter called "Piece of Cake". It's about a British
fighter squadron in the early days of the Blitz. The first episode
started in a unique way: the squadron CO died falling off the wing
of his Spitfire after landing.

So far, after one episode, this is a great show. Lots of good flying
shots. Although it looks like they're using Spitfire Mk.IX's (with the
20mm cannons) which didn't see service until later in the war. Still,
they seem to have about 5 or 6 of them which is a rare enough sight
to catch the show for.
