The Generalisimo
Saturday 2 August, 10.30am
After twenty-five years of democracy, Spain is a country transformed. In this series, Miles Kington travels through Spain, uncovering memories of the pre-democracy era, the Spain of the Franco years, and examining the life and legacy of The Generalisimo.
Travelling to Madrid and Barcelona and through Galicia and Extremadura, Miles talks to Franco's interpreter, ministers, family friends and colleagues, those who fought against him in the war and those that stood beside him at state occasions and rallies. Alongside their stories, and those of Franco's British biographer, Professor Paul Preston, are those of ordinary Spaniards - the ETA suspect whose death sentence Franco commuted, the priest forced into hiding in Republican Madrid, the women imprisoned in the post-war repression, the schoolchildren singing Falangist songs.
