The Choir: a year with the Military Wives

By Sharon Black

In February 2011, Gareth Malone went to the military base at Chivenor to set up a choir for the wives left at home alone while their men are on duty for months at a time. In the Christmas Day show , we hear from Gareth and key members of the choir as they reflect on their extraordinary journey including their performance of a song, specially written by royal composer Paul Mealor , at The Royal Albert Hall.
