Tessa Dunlop

Pick of the Week

Available for over a year

We've had an extraordinary week of commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. As a historian, Tessa has worked to reflect the best of those in this week's programme, alongside the selections of a veteran who served in the summer of 1944 and the views of a soldier from one of Britain's more recent conflicts, Afghanistan. There'll be music, reflection and - at the insistence of Tessa’s mum - a slice of levity in the form of a duck's nether regions. Presenter: Tessa Dunlop Producer: Elizabeth Foster Production Co-ordinators: Paul Holloway & Brigid Harrison-Draper
