Fantastic.

I love the Docudrama stuff. Strange I never picture WW1 battles in daylight. This I should think is down to all the Dark and brooding Art work, black and white film and Charley's War. In some ways I feel that it makes it more personal and horrific, instead of some horrible make-believe world.

Well done for tracking that down.

Paul

I think this one is even better and a complete documentary from BBC.



Very hard to get as a german. Our free TV rarely shows excellent documentaries about this topic.

Yeah, but you had World Domino Day televised live! It was so emotional when the French team failed their challenge and had to wipe away tears... :lol:

Guys,

The Somme is available on either BBC iPlayer or Channel 4OD, I forget which but it was there yesterday when I was hunting through. Just click on documantaries.....

Darrell.
