BBC: The Voice of Britain

Directed by Stuart Legg

With Gilbert Keith Chesterton, H. G. Wells, Stuart Hibberd, Rev 'Dick' Sheppard and Val Gielgud

A behind-the-scenes GPO Film Unit documentary (directed by Stuart Legg) that races from studio rehearsals and newsrooms to control rooms and transmitters, weaving speeches, music, and outside broadcasts—featuring voices like H. G. Wells and Ramsay MacDonald—into a kinetic portrait of how the BBC’s national “voice” is made.
