But impressions do matter. Here's one. It in no way makes up for the rather good, and rather awful impressions of Montgomery in this week's episode of #NOTW. Sorry about that.

You can't beat Eric Coates, at any time. 😊
This week's episode of #NewsoftheWar was brought to you with a smidge of Roy Plumley's Desert Island Discs. And if you're wondering what #NOTW is all about - have a listen. Headlines behind the frontlines, WW2!

💫What’s this, a scoop, for #NewsoftheWar?
Yes! (Almost.) It’s commonly said, Desert Island Discs was conceived in Nov 1941 and first recorded on Jan 27th, 1942. GUESS WHAT. But in this week's #NOTW we discovered something.

It’s a dog’s life in #NOTW, and there’s no finer example of man’s best friend than a Dalmation – especially this one. Fleet, owned by George Marshall, and ‘Bill’, sworn (and scrotched) by everyone at a certain RAF station.

High explosives, incendiary bombs, blitzing the blitz . . . this week our Photo of the Week is fire-watchers – they’re not out of focus, they’re evocative and, to be honest, terrifying. #NOTW

Voltaire, no less. Alongside a rather subversive piece of editorial – it takes all sorts in #NOTW, it’s not just headlines from the frontlines (although we do cover a fair few of those too)

We have 'Dictator of the Week', EVERY WEEK in #NOTW. Who is this heinous man? Never mind. Put that light out! Could you see a match from 12 miles away? Newspapers of the day would have us think so ... it's all go in News of the War, I tell you... linktr.ee/NewsOfTheWar

... and food austerity during WW2 went on for a lot longer than people realised. But was it fair? And did people complain? And how did the news of changes to the rationing system - 🚨OF WHICH THERE WERE MANY🚨 - get communicated in the news? Tune in. Find out. #NOTW

We'll return to 1942 in two weeks' time, but this week's #NOTW just goes to show, there's more to the newspapers than meets the eye. They're more than a way to start a fire - they're a means to coerce a nation.

Bit of sugar, bit of flour, little bit of marge... rationing wasn’t all that bad - or was it? Wartime recipes look simple enough. Our dynamic duo dives in with period potato mashers. #NOTW

I have no truck with #RupertMurdoch, #NewsCorps et-al, having followed the iniquitous #PhoneHacking, #NotW soap opera it’s clear RM gives not a solitary fuck & will emerge victorious easily after scraping the #Trump #Epstein shite from his expensively tailored handmade loafers…94yo & still standing!

🗞️ @merrynwalters.uk spots an interesting map in this week's #NewsofTheWar (nothing new there 🙄). But are maps making the war easier to understand? Why is Lincoln involved? Is Australia really that close to China? #NOTW

🚨Plus, you know it - it's Photo of the Week! On a podcast, this is a challenge. In a newspaper in Aug 1940, it's there are so many candidates. Check out those camels. They'd have hated getting into an LCT, but it makes you wonder. #NOTW

What a team, what a war! This week's news is from 11th August 1940 this week, and these two certainly caught our eye. When we say 'all the scandal you can handle' - we mean it. Lt Col Alfred Daniel Wintle MC, better known as A. D. Wintle, and Gracie Fields of course. #NOTW

🚨Hats off to a new hero - there's nothing like a one-eyed, one-legged soldier to keep the war going in the right direction. @andyaitch.bsky.social and @merrynwalters.uk wonder if they'll ever reach the entertainment pages. It's August! It's 1940! It's time for News of The War! #NOTW

From the illustrations in The Sphere to the Campbeltown Courier, if this kind of librarian-based scandal didn't exist, you'd have to make it up. (National training centre for ASDIC, btw. Great place. Apologies in advance to Jean Brodie.) #NOTW

See what catches our eye in Photo of The Week (stick with it, it's a surprisngly effective gimmick for aural media), the gossip columns, and the letters to the editor ... and what's really happening, while it's all goin' ON in Fraaaance .... #NOTW

🚨It's all go, it's all going, it's all gone horribly wrong. Nevertheless! While the enemy presses on, it appears the jitterbug is a means to an end (no seriously, it can be Quite The Catalyst). Get yer #NOTW here!

- and some of this week's #NOTW is quite sad. Poor old Mollie. She was a despatch rider attached to the 6th Welch Regiment. The first TS servicewoman to die during the Second World War.

Whoop! Happy New Year! Season 2 of #NOTW starts in February 1940 - that's right, we're back, and the news just gets better and better. This week, it really does include all the scandal you can handle. Plus. . .

🚨This is the last episode in our first series but FEAR NOT, we follow on instantaneously with #NOTW in 1940! You lucky people. ( Dictator of the Week was too good. Just TOO GOOD. ) And... and... there's a bit of a special inbound, too. Very Daring. 😱🗞️

Speaking of which, check this out - oh my!
#NOTW comes to you as a podlet not a podcast, an appetizer of sorts. All the news, intrigue and scandal you can handle, from the headlines beyond the frontlines in WW2. 🗞️

It's not easy to do Photo of the Week, but we do our best. November 18th 1939, and this one sums it up - when's this war gonna start?! #NOTW
