The D-Day operation, codename 'Overlord,' was probably the best-kept secret of the whole war. Everyone knew it was coming but no one knew exactly when or where. German Intelligence was geared to finding out. Hitler's two most important codebreaks came from Churchill himself and the BBC: Churchill through his scrambler telephone in Whitehall, and the BBC through its coded messages broadcast to Resistance workers in France.

A personal view by Kenneth Clark

'In the 19th century people used to think of the invention of printing as the lynch-pin in the history of civilisation. Well, fifth-century Greece and 12th-century Chartres and 15th-century Florence got on very well without it - and who shall say that they were less civilised than we are. Still on balance, I suppose that printing has done more good than harm.'
The theme of protest and communication leads Kenneth Clark to the Reformation - the Germany of Albrecht Durer and Martin Luther-to Erasmus, to the France of Montaigne, and to the Elizabethan England of Shakespeare.
Extracts from Shakespeare performed by William Devlin, Ronald Lacey, Eric Porter, Ian Richardson, Patrick Stewart
