52. Why were ordinary families kept prisoner in World War II?

Dad and Me investigate 'internment' in America, the UK, Australia, Hong Kong and beyond. Internment was when ordinary men, women and children were imprisoned because they – or their parents – were born in an enemy country, and the country they lived in thought they might secretly help the other side. Listen out for our best 'prison' jokes! And don't forget after the end theme song, we've got more of the good stuff, including questions and out-takes – and more jokes!
