In episode one of this two-part series, Jonathan Dimbleby reveals how the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ prepared for the first war broadcast and fought off government attempts to control it.

Using a wealth of preserved recordings and previously unseen documents, Jonathan uncovers the compelling story of how the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ went into battle - against Hitler and Whitehall's ministers - and played its part in the social revolution the war provoked.
