Battle

The Battle of Britain
from the BBC Archives

September 2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the end of this aerial battle, which was crucial in preventing Nazi forces having control of the air and therefore being able to mount an invasion of Southern and Eastern England in August/September 1940. As well as the actual events – reportage, news bulletins – there were many other facets to the battle. The voices and reminiscences of the pilots like Bader, Hillary, “Ginger” Lacey, Kingcombe, Stanford-Tuck and others are here. There are plenty of civilian voices too, describing the dogfights over their homes, working in aircraft factories, and coastal observers watching and waiting for large formations of Luftwaffe raiders. There was a constant fear of invasion, enemy parachutists and fifth columnists being seen everywhere, with many false alarms. Radar was crucial and the voices of the boffins involved are there, as are people talking about the pioneering plastic surgery techniques of the time for injured pilots. Above all the individual pilots talk about the intimacy of combat, the merits of their planes, their fear of burning alive in the air and how they spent their days, which gives the authentic feel of the battle.

Francis Durbridge
Paul Temple and Steve

A brand new fully dramatised remake of the lost archive drama Paul Temple and Steve, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson. From 1938 to 1968, crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve solved case after case in one of BBC Radio’s most popular serials. Now the dapper duo return refreshed and reinvigorated to the airwaves, to investigate the activities of a shadowy and ruthless criminal mastermind in post-war London.
