Tony Robinson's World War 1(2015)

Tony Robinson's World War 1 is a documentary series presented by the historian and Black Adder actor Sir Tony Robinson. The programme traces the Great War from its origins through to the final 100 days of fighting, examining how four years of brutal trench warfare gave way to a decisive military campaign that ended the conflict. Using restored 3D archival footage, the series brings the war to vivid life and explores its seismic impact on British society. Robinson charts how the First World War shattered the old social order, liberating the working class, fuelling the rise of the Labour Party, and severing ties of deference to the aristocracy. The series reveals how a generation's experience of mechanised slaughter fundamentally reshaped the nation for decades to come.
