Default They Shall Grow Not Old - Film

"They Shall Grow Not Old" is a new colourised film about WW1. No doubt made to mark the 100th Anniversary of the end of the war.

The clips shown here seem very good:

Some of Peter Jackson's comments are a bit "off", but he is a film maker, not a historian,

There is also a two-part WW1 drama documentary called "100 Days to Victory". Part 1 will be on BBC TWO at 20:00 tomorrow Thursday 25th October:

"This two-part drama documentary tells the epic story of the end of World War One - and the invention of modern warfare. Artillery, tanks, aircraft and infantry were combined for the first time. But the new machines were dangerous for the crews inside."
