Series delving into film and newsreel company British Pathe's archive. For more than half a century,
the film and newsreel company British Pathe documented almost every aspect of life - the remarkable
and the run-of-the mill, the extraordinary and the everyday.

2. The Voice of Pathe
The company's output really came into its own during the Second World War, when the distinctively
clipped and relentlessly chipper commentaries by its announcer Bob Danvers-Walker provided stirring
encouragement during the Blitz - and offered authoritative advice on how housewives struggling to
feed their families on the ration could overcome privation and to 'make do and mend'. As this
programme reveals, for generations of cinemagoers it was the voice of British Pathé that expressed
the values and the spirit of Britain.
