Every Day Is Like D-Day. How did Britain’s dreams of a new postwar
world go unfulfilled? And what does that mean for us today? In the
first of a new documentary series from the makers of Oh God, What
Now?, Ros Taylor looks at the legacy of the War itself. Ιdeals of
the Blitz Spirit and dreams of wartime heroism still shape
everything from pop culture and entertainment to the Brexit debate.
But the truth of the War is more complex and less comforting. What
will it take for us to see the Second World War – and
ourselves – clearly? •  “If you’re going to have a
foundation myth it might as well be one where you destroy Nazism.”
– Al Murray •  “If the response to air raid wasn’t
stoicism there was a fear that morale would break down.”
– Lucy Noakes •  “The Keep Calm And Carry On poster
was designed for a type of war that never arrived.” – Henry
Irvine •  “Britain went into the war not alone but at the
head of the world’s biggest empire… When Britain went to war, so
did vast part of the world.” – Lucy Noakes Written and
presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Jade Bailey. Voiceovers by
Imogen Robertson. Original music by Dubstar. Lead producer: Jacob
