The programmes on General Franco are narrated by the actor Paul McGann and trace Franco’s life from childhood, his time as a brutal army commander in Spain’s colony in north Africa, his rise to power in the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 and the brutal nature of his dictatorship which saw hundreds of thousands of opponents killed behind the lines: a difficult past Spaniards still struggle to come to terms with today.
