It's March, 1915. Turkey has entered the war on Germany's side and promptly closed the Dardanelles strait, closing off a vital sea route for our Russian allies. Britain and France decide to take decisive action - they will send a fleet to Gallipoli and storm the Dardanelles!


Armed with a half-baked plan, 16 obsolete warships and little idea of the formidable Turkish defences, the navy was determined to steam to Constantinople and victory. What could possibly go wrong?


In the first episode of a special series on the Gallipoli campaign from our sister podcast, Living History, Pete joins historian Mat McLachlan to tell the story of the disastrous naval battle of March 18, 1915.


Hosts: Mat McLachlan and Peter Hart
