    This is going to feature on a BBC film called ‘Little Ships’. I’ve written the soundtrack for this beautiful, moving film. I only hope it gets somewhere near the quality of the film!

    To mark the 70th anniversary of the ‘miracle of Dunkirk’, 50 of the surviving little ships which made the original perilous cross-channel voyage are returning to France.

    The brilliant historian Dan Snow tells their extraordinary story: their role in the evacuation and the people who struggled to keep them afloat during those fateful days in 1940, when the future of Europe hung in the balance.
