In a thought-provoking series, `The Blitz: Britain on Fire' goes back in time to the one of the most intense German bombardments against Britain, mainly Liverpool, during World War Two. Featuring eye-witness statements and recollections from relatives, the stories of these harrowing eight days are told to give viewers an account of what happened during this tragic time. From a mother of six children who had no choice but to wait it out in a shelter to a hospital matron caught up in the raids whilst on duty, their stories are told so as not to be forgotten.
