He tells her that she will be sent to France as a secret agent, and if she's caught, she's going to be shot.

I'm Helen Obalam Carter, and this is history's secret heroes, where I shine a light on extraordinary stories from World War II.

What they wanted was someone to get themselves arrested and sent to Auschwitz.

Tales of deception, an incredible acts of resistance and courage. She was a born soldier. She's a

freedom fighter in its widest sense. The brand new series of history's secret heroes. Listen first on BBC sounds.

It was on BBC Sounds. If there's ever a day in the whole year when you need to get outside, then today is that day.

Boxing day.

Good morning and season's greetings.

I'm Mark Stephen.

And today we're going to take you out for Christmas, wafting a well-needed breath of fresh air into the general slothdom

of festivities. With me this morning, Mr Ewan McElwreath. Drowning in purple prose, a rather special

setting we're in as well, proving that even though it's midwinter out there, there's nothing to stop

even getting out of the house and embracing the outdoors temporarily.

Temporarily, because we're outside at this precise moment,

but behind us is the most fantastic Arctic hut.

It's like a little Hobbit hut.

It's actually kind of shaped like a mince pie.

And it's the proper height door as well.

I'll get in you, you'll have to bend,

which is quite satisfying as you bang your head on it.

It's like a distillery top on it, and it is just the most adorable thing.

And I can hear laughter inside.
