Don't Mention the War

Posted by Riklaa on July 9, 2010 at 10:12pm

Don't Mention the War For 60 years, radio and TV programmes, films and books have made comedy out of the Second World War, and recently, the German ambassador to the UK criticised our continuing obsession with it. Paul Jackson investigates the war's enduring appeal to British comedians and comedy writers alike, and traces how their response to the subject has changed but never gone away. 128/44; 25.4 MB; encoded from Listen Again
