A series of five documentary programmes to mark the BBC's anniversary
Presented by René Cutforth 2: The BBC at War
' Words do not win wars ' was the introductory sentence quoted by Professor Asa Briggs in his third volume of The History of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom. But he also reiterates that no one will ever be able to assess fully the dramatic and possibly conclusive role that broadcasting played in Europe and Britain during those war years of 1939-45. Contents: The historic list of wartime announcements, victories and defeats - Churchill - D-Day and Eisenhower - Vera Lynn , ltma and the variety shows - War Report and the many voices who brought the sounds of war into our living rooms.
