Total War in Britain

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

On the tenth anniversary of D-Day television presents a documentary film showing the people of Britain at war. The hundreds of scenes from which it was compiled were taken between 1939 and 1944 in many places in the United Kingdom - including Slough, Hayes (Middlesex), Dover, Plymouth, Bovington (Dorset), Newport (Monmouthshire), and London; and in Dunkirk and many battlefronts abroad.

If you recognise yourself in close-up in this film tonight, please write to: 'Were You Filmed?' [address removed], and say what you are doing now. You may be invited to take part in a sequel to this programme.
