The Long, Long Trail - 2014
Archive on 4
Roy Hudd explores Charles Chilton's forgotten 1961 radio masterpiece.
Broadcast on the BBC Home Service, The Long, Long Trail told the story of the First World War in a unique way - through the songs sung by soldiers.
In 1962, Chilton, already a renowned pioneering BBC radio producer, adapted the programme with director Joan Littlewood and the cast of Theatre Workshop into the landmark stage musical Oh What a Lovely War.

Ian Hislop, Professor Hugh Chignell, Helen O'Neill, Pat Whitmore, Penny Chilton, and their children Mary and David Chilton.
Producer: Amber Barnfather
Sound design: David Chilton
