The Secret War was a six–part television series produced by the BBC in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum documenting various technical developments during the Second World War. It was aired during 1977 and presented by William Woollard. The programme opening music was an excerpt from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The closing music was by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The 'seventh' episode often included with video versions of the series was not part of the original series but produced separately.
The "Secret War" lifts the veil of secrecy on the crucial role science and intelligence played behind the lines in winning World War 2. Presented by William Woollard and largely based on the book "Most Secret War" by R V Jones. Superbly presented by William Woollard, this fascinating documentary series is unusual and particularly good because of many interviews with the people involved with the development and countering of these secret weapons, including R V Jones.
