Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways star as Mr & Mrs Pepys in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the world famous diaries. Samuel Pepys was 26 when he decided to start keeping a diary, in January 1660. For the next 10 years he faithfully recorded the day's events and confessed his innermost thoughts. That diary has since become one of our most important, and fascinating, historical documents. Pepys gave us eyewitness accounts of some of the great events of the 17th century, including the Great Fire of London and the Second Dutch War.

Story0
A young man searching for a life that demanded everything from him. What followed was life inside one of the world’s most mythologised fighting forces — the French Foreign Legion. From brutal training grounds to deployments across Africa, Mackenzie experienced the Legion beyond the legend: the discipline, the camaraderie, the exhaustion — and the moments when life and death balanced on a knife’s edge. Among men from more than a hundred nations, he trained, marched, parachuted and fought, discovering how modern warfare is shaped as much by politics and perception as by bullets.
