EP1 The First Day Aug 07, 2014

August 1914, two weeks after the First World War was declared. 80,000 British troops have arrived in southern Belgium, but they have yet to engage the enemy. Amongst these professional soldiers are the 4th Battalion, The Royal Fusiliers, some of the best trained gunners in the British Army. Lieutenant Maurice Dease and his friend, Australian Lieutenant Fred Steele, command two companies of riflemen and machine gunners who find themselves camping overnight at Nimy Bridge, the northernmost point of the Mons-Conde canal. The canal, surrounding the town of Mons, supports 18 bridges stretched along 20 miles of water - but everyone, including Private Sid Godley and his mate Private William Holbrook, expects to be crossing those bridges in the morning. Overnight, however, intelligence reports the Germans may be closer than the British think, and the Royal Engineers, including Lance Corporal Charles Jarvis and his sapper, Private Neary, are ordered to start preparing the bridges for demolition. What happens next, on Sunday 23 August, tests the soldiers' skill, courage and ingenuity to the absolute limit, leading to the first Victoria Crosses of the First World War. Not everyone will make it through the First Day.

EP2 Pals Aug 14, 2014

1916, and Britain's armed forces are decimated. Across the country, friends join up to fight together, in new battalions known as 'Pals'. Paddy Kennedy, a warehouse clerk from Manchester, joins the Manchester Pals Battalion alongside his friends Henry, Andy and Jim. They soon discover that the whole of their neighbourhood has joined up, including a nearby factory foreman, now their sergeant, Mitchell and their friend Lizzie, who has become a volunteer nurse. These pals are set to become part of the largest offensive ever mounted by the British Army, the Battle of the Somme. But after a successful first day, they are ordered to seize control of Trones Wood, a thickly forested copse riddled with enemy soldiers and impossible to navigate. Through all this, they survive shellfire and ambush, evade capture by the Germans and encounter the mysterious Private William Hunt, whose fate will become forever entwined with the life of Paddy Kennedy. Paddy's journey leads to the deadliest mission of all - the execution by firing squad of one of his pals. How will Paddy survive becoming a soldier?

EP3 War Machine Aug 21, 2014

1918, and after four years of combat the British invent a new weapon designed to break the stalemate. Private Chas Rowland, determined to bring the war to an end and return home, joins the Tank Corps under the command of Lieutenant Mould, entering the extraordinary world of the Niveleur, a Mark V tank. Primed to take part in a major offensive against the Germans just outside the French town of Amiens, the crew of the Niveleur include Fred Firth, a father-of-two desperate to see his children again; Private Dodds, a tough warrior scarred by the loss of his brothers; and Mike Weston, a civilian mechanic conscripted into the tanks. The crew will only survive four gruelling days behind enemy lines if they can learn to work together. Can they bring the war to an end and make it home?

Synopsis

Our World War is a gripping factual drama series offering viewers first-hand experience of the extraordinary bravery of young soldiers fighting 100 years ago. Drawing on real stories of World War One soldiers it uses the visual techniques and imagery familiar from modern warfare – POV helmet camera footage, surveillance images and night vision – to immerse the BBC Three audience in life on the Western Front. Each episode is closely based on first-hand testimony, interviews and memoirs that reveal often hidden and sometimes disturbing aspects of the combat experience.

Reviews

lomasjackson I really enjoy the show it really does an excellent job showing how horrible the First World War was i only wish the show would continue

angelique-90369 I had six second cousins (two times removed) that I've discovered from ancestry research who died in WW1. From the ages of 18 to 42 they died in Turkey, France, Belgium, and India. All of them were buried where they died except one who died of his wounds and is buried in Kent, England. Two of them were in the Manchester 18th. Watching this series took me to the battlefields, and I felt as if I were in the thick of it with them. The series is an emotional experience when you know that you have the DNA of distant cousins who served, fought, and perished in this terrible war. This has been undoubtedly the most moving re-enactment and documentary about the war, at least for me. Well done.

Trevor Mcinsley The stories they chose to portray in this series were well chosen and incredibly well done. Made a real change from the generic trench horror stories and showed other aspects of the war. The action scenes were pretty brutal and intense and really made the viewer connect to what was happening and what the soldiers went through.My only criticism is that the programme was clearly trying to target a young audience by throwing whatever awful style of music happens to be in the charts this week into the mix. It often jumped around quite randomly and spoiled the ambiance of the performance. I guess that this was out of some kind of desire to make the war seem more modern and relatable. Certainly the overhead thermal drone style shots and news style infographics of unit movements worked well. They made it feel a lot more relatable when we are all used to such things from Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of the music though just seemed like a bad attempt at doing likewise which just came off as being really out of place and bizarre.Anyway, I apparently missed this when it first broadcast in the summer and only caught it when it was shown again on iPlayer later in the year. Watching this after 'The Passing Bells' really made this show stand out as being especially well directed and filmed. I would say it is definitely up there with the likes of Band of Brothers and The Pacific and considering that it is about World War One that is impressive.

Michael Riach I thoroughly loved this TV series, very interesting and enjoyable. The only negative thing about it is the effects were lacking slightly, I did notice that the belt on one on the Vickers machine guns wasn't very convincing, slight let down but none the less, still very entertaining and realistic. TV series are usually a let down, however this one was the best one I've seen in a while. Hope they release this on a Box set! The actors were very good and the CGI was pretty good. If they do a mini- series about World War 2, I will definitely watch since this series was amazing, shame about it only being 3 Episodes long. BBC did a very good job at making this entertaining and I have to say, it was a must watch series.
