In July 2016, across seven matches at Wimbledon, Andy Murray provided the best of distractions, uniting a nation divided by a vote. In the fifth and final episode of the opening season of Join The Story, we look at how a gangly teenager from Dunblane, Scotland captured the hearts of the British public and how his legacy now stretches far beyond his remarkable tennis achievements.
