n cherry Posted 14 August , 2006 Share Posted 14 August , 2006 TV programme on Channel 5 1915 Wednesday 16th August - first in a series of five called 'The Trench Diggers'. This programme is looking at Loos and presumably other ones will look at some of the oher battles of the Great War. The blurp in the paper alludes to a group who dig up old trenches and in this weeks effort apprently they find a Tommy and a German soldier.

Roxy Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Soren, A dvd from Tom is probably better than the knackered VHS that I would have sent! Roxy It started early and my video didn't want to play! Aaargh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Lines Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 aaaaargh read this 15 mins before the end, too busy watching other unmentionable things on the news. Anyone know if it will be shown again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burlington Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 I have seen part of this before- but can't remember when and where. Otherwise, a good programme of the genre. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Yes a good programme, I wonder if this is the programme they wanted to make when they did the Finding the Fallen ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burlington Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Yes a good programme, I wonder if this is the programme they wanted to make when they did the Finding the Fallen ones? -ah! was this where the clips about finding the relatives of the German soldier originally came from? I knew I had seen it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John W Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Ah, having just done a bit of searching around, I think this is the finding the fallen series, possibly re edited, as i seem toi remember some harsh comments about the use of presenters wearing reconstructed uniforms, which this seems not to have. Next week is Passendaele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burlington Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Frankly, I liked the programme and am looking forward to the rest of the series. It was not hampered by the time constraint, eg everything has to be done in 48 hrs, that so many other programmes seem to have. Probably just to inject a feeling of urgency. Roll on next week Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max (UK) Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 I thought it was excellent, in particular the ending where they buried the soldiers. Very interesting. Roll on next week ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 -ah! was this where the clips about finding the relatives of the German soldier originally came from? I knew I had seen it somewhere. The whole prog was a just a recut of the "Finding the Fallen" episode minus Robertshaw poncing around in German uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 17 August , 2006 Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Hmmm, did not see it to be honest but they must have played around with it an awful lot to improve it: 'Finding the Fallen', Oh dear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted 18 August , 2006 Share Posted 18 August , 2006 Hardly recut at all, but just broadcasting episodes in a different sequence. I expect you'll get to see Andy 'poncing' when they do the Bixschote episode (although to be honest, I don't recall ever seeing him running a string of prostitutes).
