"News of The War" – We’re back! It’s a second season! Well, the war did go on a bit. The bombing’s started, or has it? Bomb tests, brilliant decisions by the BBC, and brmmm brmmm – despatch riders get more than a worthy mention. Pull up a sandbag, rattle your shilling - Andy Aitcheson and Merryn Walters dig into the newspapers, chasing the stories that didn’t make it into the history books. Expect dry wit, sapper grit, deep dives, and the detours into what lurks in the photos, gossip, scandal, news, and letters to the editor during the Second World War.
