EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Second World War, as the BBC stood as a beacon of information and entertainment for the British people, the corporation's West of England studios became a fortified stronghold against potential enemy infiltration. Amidst the heightened security measures, even the gentle face of television announcer Elizabeth Cowell was not exempt from scrutiny upon entering the premises. The year was 1940, and the threat of spies loomed large. The BBC, with its access to sensitive information, was a prime target for enemy agents seeking to disrupt the British war effort. As such, the entrance to the West of England studios was guarded with unyielding vigilance. In this evocative photograph, Elizabeth Cowell, a beloved figure on British television during the war, is seen being checked by a guard as she enters the studios. The guard, armed with a bayonet, stands tall and alert, his expression serious and focused. Cowell, dressed in a smart suit and carrying a small handbag, looks back at the camera with a calm and composed expression, seemingly unfazed by the intense scrutiny. The image captures the tense atmosphere of wartime Britain, where even the most ordinary moments were imbued with a sense of danger and uncertainty. The BBC, and its employees like Elizabeth Cowell, were essential parts of the war effort, and their safety was of the utmost importance. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the British people during the darkest days of the Second World War.
