New TV series Masters of the Air premieres this Friday with Blue Apple’s founder Tommy Jessop in a very small cameo role in episodes 1 and 2..

The Guardian writes: “Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are executive producers and Dee Rees and Cary Fukunaga are among its directors. Yet it is has arrived quietly and politely. Why? It’s on Apple TV+, for one. Perhaps, too, it’s a casualty of an oversaturated age, in which too much television has been produced. I suspect the buzz is about to make a late appearance, though, because Masters of the Air is truly fantastic television. Over nine episodes, it follows the American men of the 100th bomb group as they undertake perilous aerial missions.“

Blue Apple’s Artistic Director Richard Conlon said: “Blue Apple participants, staff trustees and volunteers are all rightly proud of what Tommy has done with his performing arts career - he's been on the leading edge of putting people with a learning disability in the storytelling community and where he leads others will happily follow.”

Warning: Reviewers mention harrowing war scenes in the film.

The show is available via Apple TV+. More details are available here.
