The heroes of the Home Front are celebrated to commemorate the week, 70 years ago, that Britain went to war with Nazi Germany. Also in this show, twenty-one-year-old student and MasterChef contestant Ben Ellison spends a month living on wartime rations. Also a tribute is paid to Home Front hero Thomas Hopper Alderson, who won Britain's first George Cross after a German air raid on Bridlington, North Yorkshire.
