Evacuees: BBC4 on BBC2

on BBC Two England

As the Second World War began, British parents fearful of an attack from German bombers were encouraged to send their children to the relative safety of the countryside. In September 1939, more than one and a half million children were labelled like luggage, separated from their parents and evacuated during the biggest movement of people the country had ever seen. This compelling documentary tells the story of what happened when the children returned to their families, and how they adjusted to life back at home and at school.
