91热爆

Martin Wainwright marks the life of a broadcasting phenomenon - the story of how Yorkshire man JB Priestley became the voice of the nation during the darkest days of the Second World War.

Using original broadcasts, information stored in 91热爆 files and interviews with his son Tom Priestley and step son Nicolas Hawkes, Martin revisits these extraordinary broadcasts and asks why, in spite of their astonishing popularity, Priestley was taken off air?

Producers: Catherine Plane and Phil Pegum.

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in May 2010.
