In episode one of this two-part series, Jonathan Dimbleby reveals how the 主播大秀 prepared for the first war broadcast and fought off government attempts to control it. Wholly unprepared, the 主播大秀 fended off complete government takeover and emerged a trusted global news source. Using a wealth of preserved recordings and previously unseen documents, Jonathan uncovers the compelling story of how the 主播大秀 went into battle - against Hitler and Whitehall's ministers - and played its part in the social revolution the war provoked.
