Codename Badger
In 1955 young army major Robbie Mills dies, disembarking a submarine docked at Torbay Harbour in Devon.
His superiors say he was drinking and slipped from the gangplank in inclement weather. His widow, Josephine, has no reason to disbelieve them. But within weeks a man knocks on her door. He introduces himself as Captain John Cottell, and he tells Josephine that Robbie’s death was no accident, and Robbie was a spy.
It’s a meeting that will change Josephine’s life forever.
Now journalists Eugene Henderson and Andy Clark help Josephine’s daughter Nicky solve a mystery that has spanned five decades. Who was John Cottell? And what really happened to her father?
Episode’s out weekly from Tuesday 20th January.
