I Fought In Ukraine
I Fought In Ukraine
In under two months, MediaMouth has delivered two documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
The first programme – a groundbreaking, first person account of what it is like to go to war in Ukraine as a foreign fighter was broadcast on 16 November 2025. It’s now available via BBC Sounds by clicking here.
“I Fought In Ukraine” follows the fortunes of four volunteers who travelled to Ukraine as the war broke out with Russia in February 2022 and explains what happened to one of them who is missing in action, presumed to have been killed in action on his first mission during the summer of 2025. The programme deals with the complications for those left back at home when something goes wrong and how ‘not knowing’ can almost be as bad as finding everything out.
The production was produced and presented by Nick Garnett with recording facilities and equipment provided by MediaMouth Ltd in South Manchester.
From conception to delivery, the programme was edited and produced over a three week period and delivered to the BBC ahead of time and under budget. Nick Garnett says: “It was a pleasure to be able to produce this hard-hitting documentary covering the lives and fortunes of those who went to help in Ukraine’s hour of need. It’s always an honour to be able to talk to people who put themselves in harm’s way for others and the stories I heard were harrowing and reveal the true brutality of the war and the effects it has on everyone involved.”
The programme has exclusive access to the recordings made on the front line by one of the volunteers as his team were ambushed in a forest resulting in him receiving a life-threatening injury.
“I Fought In Ukraine” is a MediaMouth production for BBC Radio 4.
Three weeks later, MediaMouth delivered its second documentary for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds entitled
Fixing The Chain
“Fixing The Chain” – available now on BBC Sounds by clicking here tells the story of the aftermath of the Jaguar Land Rover cyberattacks in 2025. They crippled the car maker which had to cease production around the world while their IT systems were checked and brought back on line. But the real victims were the smaller companies who build the parts that go into a Land Rover – the supply chain. The programme explains how the chain works in easy to understand language and details the problems JLR faced when trying to secure its systems again. Speaking to world-renowned experts in the car and security industries, Fixing The Chain, reveals the full extent of Jaguar Land Rover’s problems and why the shut-down caused the hit to the UK’s economic figures.
The production was produced and presented by Nick Garnett with recording facilities and equipment provided by MediaMouth Ltd in South Manchester.
Again, from conception to delivery, the programme was edited and produced over a three week period and delivered to the BBC ahead of time and under budget. Nick Garnett says: “For the second time in under two months, we were able to bring to air a complicated and hard-to-explain story in a way that allowed all listeners to understand the impact and scope of JLR’s problems. This was, undoubtedly, helped by the calibre of guests and interviews we were able to deliver.”
“Fixing The Chain” is a MediaMouth production for BBC Radio 4.
