DukeIronHand 8 Posted May 24, 2011 I'd better brew a pot of tea. 26 episodes at ten minutes each. Thank goodness for satellite internet out in the country here! Thanks Shiloh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted May 24, 2011 I'm on the 3rd episode myself and not going anywhere for the next 2 hours...enjoy Duke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 24, 2011 Four and a half hours almost. That should be pretty detailed then? I'll watch it bit by bit during the coming weeks - thanks for posting, Shiloh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+elephant 36 Posted May 24, 2011 Very interesting thanks, Shiloh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) You're welcome guys. I think it actually ends up being 17+ hours if I did my math correctly. Edited May 24, 2011 by Shiloh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tranquillo 10 Posted May 24, 2011 Yep, first released about 1964 and still regarded as the most informative documentary on WW1 ever. I remember watching the series on TV at the time. Ooops, showing my age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted May 24, 2011 Yep, first released about 1964 and still regarded as the most informative documentary on WW1 ever. I remember watching the series on TV at the time. Ooops, showing my age. It was the mold for the 1972 WWII "World at War". The later is the pinnacle of all war documentaries. The BBC's Great War is a must have for all WWI buffs.

Lewie 7 Posted May 24, 2011 Nice one m8...I'll watch it during tea breaks! I think you'll find it's the same series I posted an Youtube thread about last February, it is a great series Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks for the link, Shiloh. I will be sure to watch this with my father. He is a big WWI fan, but I am sure he has never seen this documentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) You're very welcome guys. My WWI knowledge needs some brushing up so this will be an enjoyable way for me to get the basics and gives me something to watch for the next few weeks. I don't have T.V. so I'm always searching for good stuff to watch on the internet. Edited May 25, 2011 by Shiloh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vonOben 55 Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks a lot Shiloh! I think it was this series I saw on TV as a child in the late 6o’s and which got me interested in WW1! The 26 episodes consist of 4 episodes of 10 min each so it’s about 17 hours total! I’ve now downloaded all episodes and joined them to their original 40 min length and started to watch them on TV. Great stuff! Cheers vonOben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayfarer 5 Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) I remember watching this as a child. We still have my Dad's copy of the book which went with it. I have also seen quite a good documentary on the making of the series. Not sure my Mom was so impressed though. It came up in conversation once, not so long ago. 'I used to watch that,' said my Dad. 'Yes, every bloody week!' responded my Mom. Still, I always remember it as being good! Edited August 11, 2011 by Wayfarer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted August 11, 2011 . Yes indeed, that is an excellent one and I've seen it several times over the years. Let me add my thanks for the reminder of this classic as well, Shiloh. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
