Four classic episodes 3: Fortress Malta
Written by KEITH DARVILL Narrator Tom Fleming
' The island is 17 miles by nine miles wide - smaller than the Isle of Wight. It produces less than 30 per cent of its own food. It offers us a defensive liability of intolerable proportions. A Malta garrison would be quickly isolated and overrun.'
That was the prevailing British Army view in 1940. It was very nearly the right one.
With the voices of PETER ALL-
MOND, MICHAEL GOLDIE , MICHAEL HARDY , DANIEL HILL , KATE KENDALL , BRUCE LIDINGTON , JOAN MATHESON , PAUL MEIER , PAUL MEN-ZIES, ESMOND RIDEOUT , WILLIAM ROBERTS , RONALD RUSSELL , JEFF-REY SEGAL , GEOFFREY SERLE and DAVID SHARP.
Produced and directed by BRIAN MILLER. BBC Bristol
(Revised repeat: Fri 11.5 am)
