Yes I did pasta.It was brilliant.Very interesting to see all those famous people of the time and the perspective from Europe and further afield.Being in colour and slowed down brought it all to life.
The following programme was good too about rationing in the second lot.

stupendo
well worth a look
prog 1 wasnt really so much about after the Great War as how they thought it ended

history was being re written ( there is a lot of it about) before our very eyes

Eet was Fransh and Belgian and so had alot of film we had never seen before - painstakingly recolorised - but was it true?

the poilus ( Fr) and casques bleues (Be) were correctly done. Brits were all dun - the marching around of the massed flags,

oh and the second film of Hitler I have ever seen - the other one is 0.5s of him in fron of the vienna palais.

As you know from unreadable posts from me, only about 3 mins of film of men under fire exists and the rest is faked ( er acted out behind the lines in safety) - and they had recolourised the famous 15s shot of the Somme,

and it looked completely different from the recon a few weeks ago. if anyone saw it. The filmist noted he was at div HQ on that day and just swivelled his camera round
( so they found that days HQ and swivelled the camera round)
actually it look like any sweeping folding field in Dorset
.....

and an orderly withdrawal from the trenches burning the factories they had previously occupied, marching back to Berlin unbroken

hmm not quite - the Huns ran away and left impregnable trenches unguarded and the Brits marched in wondering. Commenting that if they were defended, then they would never have taken them

Soviets declared in Berlin.....

ALtho there were two views - peace in our time - and youre joking with terms like these there will be war in 20 y - they werent equal

which one prevailed? ( punishers) - the war in 20 y lot werent taken seriously

Woodrow wilson - and his wife edith you know she ran America for a week after he died? she didnt let anyone in the room !
WW thought up the League of Nations and then America refused to join

"The League of Nations was thought up by Woodrow Wilson, the American President during the First World War. ... One of the reasons for its downfall was that, after a vote, the American public refused to join. "

you didnt get that didja ?

Amazing scenes of the recolorised march froo in the Arch of Triumph. I never knew it occurred,
