I watched the first episode of Paxman's presentation , but the week before I had watched on Youtube the 26 episodes of the 1964 BBC documentary "The Great War" which I found very informative , and I recommend it .

It would appear your oils run out - of course it has to do with the program in question as it was in the subject matter! In fact this country only just finished paying off the debt to the Americans for the 2nd World War a few years back!

I had to look up on the internet to find out what you are talking about. I love documentaries but I won't find this one for some time in the US. My grandpa's brother died in this war.

Are you able to watch it on youtube, or do you get blocked due to your location.
