4/4. Desmond Carrington recalls the careers of entertainers who caught the public's attention with their distinctive style. The series winds down with a profile of wartime singing sensation Vera Lynn , whose radio series
Sincerely Yours - broadcast to servicemen and women overseas during the Second World War - helped earn her the title of "the Forces' Sweetheart". Her signature hits include White Cliffs of Dover and We'll Meet Again, featured here alongside other hits and extracts from a recent interview with Desmond Carrington in her Sussex home.
