In the three-part special The Blitz: Britain on Fire, Michael Buerk tells the story of eight days in May 1941, when Britain, and Liverpool in particular, was subjected to intense bombardment. They focus on Margaret Johnson, a mother of six who had been bombed out of one home, and Mary Lawson, a promising film star in 1940s Britain. Plus, a look at Churchill's morale-boosting tour of bombed Britain. Join Michael on Monday 28th, Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th May at 9pm on Channel 5
