The Shepherd

The main character is a young White British fighter pilot who appears in every scene. Two actors of color have speaking parts, one of whom has the role of air traffic controller. However, their lines are limited and their parts are of little consequence to the story. Female representation is limited to that of mother, sister, and girlfriend.

A young fighter pilot suffers mechanical failures while flying over the North Sea. Just as it appears they will run out of fuel and crash/eject, a mysterious pilot helps navigate them to safety. Reference to the deaths of pilots during World War II. A plaque on a wall lists various names and the ages of pilots that died. It's suggested that two characters are either ghosts or figments of someone's imagination. A snowball fight that is shown is later revealed to have injured someone's hand -- their arm is bandaged and in a sling.

A character writes a goodbye/love letter to their partner telling them that they love them.

Some use of "bugger," "bloody," and "God" as an exclamation.

People are seen drinking pints of beer at a Christmas Eve dance. A character pours someone a beer from a bottle.
