Tessa Dunlop

Tessa Dunlop presents a selection of the best bits of audio across the BBC alongside ATS veteran, Grace Taylor.

This week, we hear from Grace Taylor in Poole, a 101-year-old World War Two veteran, as we journey through her life via the medium of radio. We touch on forgiveness, fear and the footballing hero who’s just been knighted. We’ll also be hearing Grace’s link to the late Prunella Scales, with some reflections from the actress's son Samuel on Last Word, as well as some classic 1940s hits to accompany us in our travels to the "golden age" of the wireless.

Presenter: Dr Tessa Dunlop
Producer: Anthony McKee
