[QUOTE=1batfastard;2160632]Hi All,
I can ignore the acting and enjoy the history being told the acting just tries to bring it to life, My only problem was it was advertised as being from the point of view of ordinary people, when I heard an officer talk about ‘We had two bottles of Champagne to celebrate’ a certain event, it got under my skin to me it showed the vast difference between the enlisted who had nothing and those toffs who thought the war was a great adventure and still lived a life style as if the war was not on going.
That does not take anything away from the officers who actually did see proper fighting in the trenches alongside their men, also it works the other way around as I am sure their were those enlisted who skived everyday if they could. Good and Bad in all people from all backgrounds.

Hi All,
Sorry everyone I have obviously got my wires crossed here :stupid:, I had in fact started to watch the ITV production ‘The Great War: The People’s Story’ all of the above still applies and I am looking forward to the 2nd episode to morrow ITV – 9pm -10pm will now have to catch up with the BBC programme you are all on about.

Geoff.
