MINISTRY OF SECRETS: AN EIGHT-PART NARRATIVE PODCAST
IN THE SPRING of 1956, the celebrated wartime diver, Lionel Crabb, undertakes a dive in Portsmouth harbour. He is never seen again.
What happened? It’s the biggest news story in years. Crabb is a household name. He’s the main character in a blockbuster movie. The inspiration for James Bond.
Astonishingly, the shocking truth about Lionel Crabb’s final dive is still – to this day - a state secret. The relevant file won’t be released for 100 years. Not until 2057.
This is exceptional. Why won’t it be released? What’s so secret about that final dive of Lionel Crabb?
Giles Milton (narrator) and Sarah Peters (producer) undertake a thrilling investigation into both past and present. They reveal a 1950s story of spies, double-agents, communist cells and an intelligence service gone rogue. And looming over everything is the sinister figure of Lord Mountbatten, King Charles III’s godfather.
And what of the here and now? Milton and Peters lay bare the shocking story of a tiny Establishment clique – unelected and unaccountable - fighting to block the release of the Lionel Crabb file.
Milton and Peters will reveal why. And they will also reveal what that mysterious file contains.
