    Pt 2 was just as good as Pt 1.

    Well done (again)!

    an excellent idea for a documentary

    pity that so many film clips were used more than once

    perhaps just enough material for one hour length prog ?

    Thanks Paul that was a real cracker. My father was in the trenches in WW1, didn't say too much but the excavated trenches helped me to understand what he had to put up with.
    For many years my hobby was archaeology and spent a lot of time on digs, mostly Iron Age and Roman, but I think I would find archaeology on WW1 trenches too emotional.

    Just remembered I havent watched the second part .
    Am doing so now. (bloody adverts)
    How did you manage to get Alex Turner DSO on board ?

    edit: not actually watching it now but shouting abuse at the sodding Channel5 on demand website.
    Bloody useless crappy thing.
    had the first advert break & then it stopped. :(

    How did you manage to get Alex Turner DSO on board ?

    I was wondering about him. WW1 not being my thing, is he a well known expert etc in the WW1 community? Current Maj or Ret?
