I mean the way she presents the series is outstanding I have to say, I'm huge fan of world service and everything they produce, but this is absolutely one of the best being historically accurate and a mixture of drama and science and history. oh there's nothing I can say!
I love this series. I feel I have an instant and intimate understanding of anyone living at the time, from the scientists who created the bomb, then tried to bloke it's use, to the military and political powers on all sides, to, most poignantly, the surviving victims ... well done
