Penally History Group will be appearing on Paul Merton’s new series about secret stations in the UK on C4 Sunday, May 15, at 8 pm.

The series takes Paul to various less known request stops where he meets local people and learns about features of interest.

Group member David Glennerster said: “We were with Paul and the crew up on the trenches for over four hours, but have no idea how much or how little has made it into the final programme. The hats they provided were too big and were a challenge in themselves.”

The group are looking forward with interest and some trepidation to see how their efforts have turned out. They hope the programme will enhance people’s knowledge of this unique system of trenches used by our soldiers before they left for the front.
