I would recommend 'They Shall Not Grow Old' on the iplayer/tv box. It was on BBC2 the other night. Peter Jackson made it using hundreds of old WWI photographs and testimony from those that were there. A lot of it has been brought to colour and 3D.
Probably the closest you will ever get to knowing what it was like to fight in the great war. He doesn't hold back with some of the more gruesome images either. Very humbling bit of TV.

BT Sport Documentary called "Brothers in Football"
Its about Corinthian-Casuals FC and their history going back to when they were Corinthians. Obviously topical at this time of year with Corinthians being the best team in the world in 1914 and pretty much were decemated by Somme, Ypres and Paschendale
Their history is a good one. Inclusive of SC Corinthians of Sao Paulo and the fact they are totally amateur
They are nae far from Heathrow. Im going to make it my mission to head down this season
Good viewing if you get a chance

The images were impressive but you could have made that a radio show and I would have been impressed. The interviews were pretty special. The programme was pitched perfectly.Originally Posted by mondo_notion
The last comment made on it was unbelievable.
I watched a documentary about the 1960s documentary, The Great War a few years back. They were interviewing survivors and the film makers found it difficult due to the mental state of some of them.

Louis Theroux was a tough watch tonight. Assisted dying for those with terminal or debilitating illnesses. The last part where the family invited the crew in to document the guys last hours with his family was heart breaking.

Yeah, that was a struggle. I fully believe folk can check out when they like for whatever reason they like but I’m not convinced the woman that did made the right choice. Possibly influenced by those two odd balls

Yeah I would have liked to see Louis try and challenge her reasons a little bit more than he did. (obviously easier said than done) He did try with suggesting it could be the grief of losing her partner rather than the physical symptoms that was fuelling her decision to end her life. Some American states years ahead of the UK in yet more aspects of life...and death, the politicians in this country don't even want to speak about it.
