The Longest Day
Alex Jennings read this four-part abridgement of Cornelius Ryan's classic account of the D-Day landings for BBC Radio 2.
"Personally I should have liked a double dose of The Longest Day, both because its content is so fascinating - a mixture of global politics and personal detail - and because Alex Jennings is such a brilliant reader. It's amazing what you can do with a good voice and judicious sound effects. Full marks to producer John Taylor for giving us more drama in 15 minutes than many of those run-of-the-mill war films manage in two hours."
