The Reunion, Radio 4, preview This excellent, Sony award-winning history series returns for a new season today. The format, for those of you unfamiliar with it, is refreshingly direct: Sue MacGregor, as chairwoman, invites a group of people who were involved in a particular historical event to sit around a table and tell it in their own words. Today's episode brings together five British athletes - Dorothy Tyler, Dorothy Manley, Tommy Godwin, John Parlett and Sir Roger Bannister - to recall the last time the Olympics came to London, in 1948. Played as the rubble of the Blitz was still being cleared and with rationing still in place, these Games were dubbed the "Austerity Olympics," but also exemplified the great "make do and mend" spirit of postwar Britain. 'The Reunion' returns to Radio 4 on Sunday 1 April at 11.15am
