Landmark series about the Normandy Landings. Powerful eyewitness accounts recorded with those who experienced it first-hand are lip-synced by young actors, cast to resemble the interviewees at the time of the war.

”…an overwhelming success… Not for a second have I ever been resentful about paying the BBC licence fee, but I’ve hardly ever been as happy to do so as when watching D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. It’s one of the best pieces of public service broadcasting I’ve seen in years.”

(The Guardian, 5 stars)

“…a bravura piece of tele­vision that takes you by the throat in its opening seconds and refuses to let you go.”

(Daily Mail)

“…viscerally powerful… extraordinarily effective…Superb.”

(The Telegraph, 5 stars)

“…a must-watch. (…) Informative as well as emotive (…) it’s a hugely effective way of telling the story that breathes new life into their testimony.”

(The Times, 5 stars)

“With a slice of the Second World War that is mythologised as D-Day, the challenge is to make it fresh. How do you bring the story alive for viewers who may be coming to it for the first time, while also keeping history buffs happy? The producers here have cracked it.”

(Radio Times, 5 stars)
