Originally timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE day, this unique episode sees host Cathy Booth, joined by a whole cast of ringers, bust the myths about ringing during World War II. This is the abridged version of ‘thirty voices, seventy-five years, one story’ aimed at non-ringers. And what a story!
For more information, including photographs and the biographies of the 2 interviewees, Dennis Brock and Eric Hitchins, see the show notes behind the full version.
