Informative and Engaging
A joy to listen to. It's so important to know this history, especially now the institution is being undermined. We have to save it while we still can

Need to be adapted for TV!
Just finished listening to all 10 episodes and enjoyed every minute. A fascinating insight into a key period in our history, but with great human interest and characters that you can really believe in. Great writing and some fantastic performances as well. Rhod Gilbert is notably exceptional in his first serious role. I am sure a TV adaptation would be a huge hit too.

Getting Better
An excellent performance and interesting story about the passion and ability of a terrific orator Nye Bevan pushing an idea of free health to all regardless of means.
A testament to the ability of the script writers to make history relevant today.
Brilliant!

A real surprise!
I really enjoyed this. To me, this story is docu-dram-edy! I never knew much about Nye Bevan and the formation of the NHS. It is a story worth telling and worth hearing. I am hooked!
