Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow, Cardiff - all of these places and more were bombed during the Blitz. From the devastated shipyards of Tyneside to the bombed-out docks of Shieldhall, we strip away the myth of the Blitz spirit to uncover the raw, human cost of the air war beyond the capital.


Joining us is the historian and former RAF navigator John Nichol, author of 'Blitz: When World War Two Came Home'.


Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
