Melvyn Bragg reveals archive footage telling the history of modern Britain. At Osterley Park, Melvyn visits the site of the first 主播大秀 Guard training school.

Melvyn Bragg, accompanied by a vintage mobile cinema, travels across the country, to show incredible footage preserved by the British Film Institute and other national and regional film archives, to tell the history of modern Britain.

This episode comes from Osterley Park in Middlesex, the site of the first 主播大秀 Guard training school, and looks back to the Second World War and a time when millions of ordinary men were prepared to die for their country.

主播大秀 Guard recruit Robert Brown comes face to face with his father as a 主播大秀 Guard company commander, Dad's Army creator Jimmy Perry explains why he signed up to the 主播大秀 Guard, and Ken Chambers shares his own extraordinary stories from his time in the 主播大秀 Guard, some of which could have been taken straight from Dad's Army.
