The episodes of this is Band of Brothers quality. I would love a mini series like this about WWI! Loved the modern music and camera effects, also superb way of giving historical information. Just shows what the bbc can do! Also great acting!

Fantastic series showcasing some of the UK's talented actors writers and sound crew . If you only watch one WW1 series this is the one. Bringing to life three events of WWI using a modern soundtrack .
