Very nice, I thought Redgrave made an excellent Barnes Wallis, and the film itself was choreographed well.
An interesting tidbit for those who might not have heard it before, from wikipedia:

The animal used to portray ****** was an RAF dog, on loan to the production. Richard Todd was the animal wrangler, and later recalled that the dog was an exemplary actor who hardly ever required a re-take. On two occasions, however, the dog caused difficulty. On the first occasion, the dog could not be persuaded to wait when filming the scene when ****** answers a knock on the door in Gibson's bedroom. The second occasion was when filming on location at RAF Scampton, where ****** and Gibson were to stroll through a group of RAF men waiting outside of a building for a briefing. The dog could not be persuaded to move off one spot, or even dragged past it on a leash. It later transpired that the spot was the site where the real ****** had been buried, some 8 years before, whose gravestone had been temporarily removed for filming. In the end, the scene was filmed without the dog.
