Behind the scenes at Selfridges, a department store on Oxford Street, London.

A typical day in Walton-on-the-Naze.

For a journalist a war is the biggest of all stories. It is exciting, dangerous and, with skill and luck, it can make his career. This film looks at some famous moments from the major wars of this century. Often the version of events given to the public at home bore only a passing relation to the truth as we now know it. The journalists involved talk of the pressures on them at the time and explain why sometimes they chose to censor themselves.
