Series immersing viewers in the real stories of British troops serving on the front line during World War One. 1918, and after four years of combat the British invent a new weapon designed to break the stalemate. Private Chas Rowland, determined to bring the war to an end and return home, joins the Tank Corps under the command of Lieutenant Mould, entering the extraordinary world of the Niveleur, a Mark V tank. Primed to take part in a major offensive against the Germans just outside the French town of Amiens, the crew of the Niveleur include Fred Firth, a father-of-two desperate to see his children again, Private Dodds, a tough warrior scarred by the loss of his brothers, and Mike Weston, a civilian mechanic conscripted into the tanks. The crew will only survive four gruelling days behind enemy lines if they can learn to work together. Can they bring the war to an end and make it home?
What can I say, I love me some BBC.
Documentaries - or mostly an excuse to listen to Louis Theroux and David Attenborough talk.
At least some inspiration has been drawn from real events, though sometimes it might seem but a distant memory.
Shows set in a long gone period of time. Even if that time happens to be the 80's. Basically everything not taking place in the present of the time of filming.
Because nothing beats BBC.
or the navy, same-same.
All those TV shows that premiered in 2016.
If I had a British accent I'd never shut up.
