Here the summary
The preparations had been made well in advance. Now Britain was at war, and as the uniformed army prepared to face the enemy, a civilian army was mobilised at home. National Registration Officers, registrars, and 65,000 enumerators set about the huge task of registering every man, woman and child in a single weekend. It all went remarkably smoothly. This is the story of the 1939 Register for England and Wales, how it was taken, and what happened next.Find it at http://media.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php/using-1939-register-recording-uk-population-war/

from clicking on a tab labelled slides...then, needing to click the forward or backup arrows to follow along with the audio
Well worth both listening to & following the slides of the over 1 hour long presentation.
Always a delight listening to Audrey Collins. Ms Collins consistently delivers interesting and informative talks.
I appreciated the tip on clicking on the tab labeled slides, found it easy to follow.
