Michael Aspel Remembers - The Evacuees
Michael Aspel Remembers - The Evacuees
The broadcaster reflects on his time as an evacuee during the Second World War. Sent to Chard in Somerset at the age of seven, he was separated from his siblings and didn't see his parents for more than four years. In this candid recollection, Aspel shares vivid memories of adapting to rural life, clashes with local children and the lasting impact of those formative years - stories he first touched on in 1969 documentary The Evacuees
Michael Aspel Remembers - The Evacuees airs on BBC Four HD at 10:05 PM, Sunday 14 December. (Subtitles, new.)
