That world war 2 programme on BBC the other night
13 Answers
The other night (I think it was wednesday night) I saw a captivating programme about the second world war on one of the bbc channels. It was made in the early 70s. Does anyone know which programme this is? Is it a series or a one off? It was on at around midnight. Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It is part of The World At War series which was first shown on ITV in the 70s. If you look here, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hkpq6/episo des/2009 the programme is normally broadcast in the afternoon but no doubt due to subject of the last episode it was shown much later.
I had a look on Wikipedia and the BBC series does not seem to be following the original order so I don't know how many more episodes are to follow.

In my opinion,it is the finest documentary about the Second World War and my all time favourite television programme. I have the entire box set on DVD.
Whilst there are still many veterans left,The World At War couldn't be made today as those who were close to the warlords at the time are very few and far between.

"Starting on Saturday, you could compile your own definitive 14-volume World at War DVD collection. First broadcast in October 1973, when memories of the Second World War were still clear in people's minds and the war verterans (sic) were numerous, the voices of those that fought, worked or watched during the Second World War gave each episode a vivid sense of what it was like to be there and was the hallmark of the series"

A little late I know, but I have been caught up in an Answerbank fault.
Thanks for that information rabbitygirl.
Yes I also have the WW1 set, perhaps TCL-MUMPING would care to respond? I knew he had got the incorrect information.
Always best to first believe a person, than something you know nothing about, only what you have downloaded off the web.

I have found this on Wikipedia,
"Due to what the newspaper called "unprecedented demand", the voucher-redeemed scheme was extended to twenty episodes, with the remaining six and a presentation pack available for purchase via mail order"
I was going by the info from the Daily Mail website which made no reference to the additional DVDs
I apologise unreservedly to aog
