This programme celebrates the unique spirit of Victory in Europe, captured by the unforgettable music of the war years and through the golden memories of those who were there. The programme also features remarkable footage of performances by the great entertainers who kept the country singing through its darkest days, Gracie Fields, George Formby and Flanagan and Allen. Extensive newsreel footage, specially filmed reconstructions and contemporary images combine to provide the perfect flavour of the times.
