Great footage - Life in the War: Part 1: The Gathering Storm review by PW
The footage they've licensed (as I understand) from the BFI is very, VERY good.
You normally see the same few clips on TV programmes, but I had seen very little of the stuff here. It was new to me, and very interesting.
However, the script/voiceover is fairly basic and non insightful.
