A gripping BBC Radio 4 dilemma about King George VI's battle to overcome his stammer and his close working romance with his talk therapist. It is Coronation Day, 1937. As the united states celebrates, the new monarch must face one of the very most difficult problems he has ever before experienced: the dreaded BBC Radio Broadcast to the country. Only one man can make the terrified King for his ordeal at the microphone - Australian talk therapist Lionel Logue. Along with his unconventional methods such as tongue-twisters, breathing exercises and Shakespearean quotations, and a variety of teaching styles ranging from empathy to bullying, Logue aims to provide George VI the assurance to navigate the minefield in advance. As both men wrestle with the intricacies of the talk, their conversation amounts from the Abdication Turmoil to the King's youth and his uneasy romance with his father - and the King's reliance on and deep companionship with Logue becomes evident. Starring Alex Jennings as George VI and Trevor Littledale as Logue, this is a riveting portrait of an visible man at a pivotal second in his own life and in the annals of the 20th century.
