If a documentary is saying that British propaganda is fact, I wouldn't rely on it too much.
If the British really did have a big oil-pump in the channel that they wre going to set alight, then I guess the IJN really did have a dog that barked morse-code.
EDIT: What people criticising the documentary have to remember is that the Germans were winning the BoB before they started bombing London. If the Germans had established air superiority and captured Dover with Fallschemjager, the Germans would have a safe place to land their amphibious troops. The full might of the Luftwaffe would have been enough to make it a lot easier for the Panzers. If the British had sent warships, the Stukas, now safe from fighter attack, would've destroyed enough of them to protect the transports, while the rest of the Luftwaffe did exactly what it was made for: supporting infantry.
I do recall that there was a recreation where the British won, but that was only done under the assumption that the Germans hadn't gained air superiority. The RN cut off German supplies and the British army surrounded the Heer.
