Debut 4 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Superb. Got a few taped episodes on VHS from years ago. The title tune is a little haunting and catches the mood of the war for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well worth watching, as is "The Great War", the series covering WWI and equally informative, moving and humbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaap's Sigh Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 30 sheets in HMV. As Noel Gallagher once said..... "The only thing that has followed me from every house I have lived in is my World at War series" Just got it online from HMV for ?17.99 with free delivery. Was mentioned previously in the thread. Cracking deal and a cracking series. Probably one of the most unbiassed accounts of the war even though it was made on our side of the fence so to speak. Can't wait for it to come.

jambovambo Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Really? Yeah I was thinking about this over the weekend. The (very short) snippet may actually have been in the more parochial "All Our Yesterdays" with that dour guy that used to present it. It's a long time ago.

Buffalo Bill Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm going to order it. Correction: I'm going to get the wife to order it for me. The series came out in 1973, the year I was born and what I love about the interviews is that the people are only in the 50s, and many of them would probably be holding down jobs when it was being made. Having Laurence Olivier narrate is genius too. It is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
