patiirc Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Can anyone recommend any documentary/series on WW2? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to history, I never cared much for it at school, and only now have started reading bits. I want to watch something that tells the complete story, which I am aware is huge.  Aside from The World at War, which is fantastic, Laurence Rees, appears to be the man doing WW2 documentaries these days, focusing on specifics such as Russia (War of the Century) Japan (Horror of the East)  There are a few drama docs about including Hiroshima and Dunkirk, on the BBC History collection  The ITV series World War II in colour appears to be here  Secrets of World War II is another good series, it pops up on Yesterday as filler quite regularly. Here is a link, not sure if it works as cant check as am at work and the links from the site are blocked  Finally, Tank Overhaul is worth seeking out as certain tanks are restored and the history of them is explained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 3, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dunno if any of you have seen the adverts but Sky Atlantic have a documentary season starting on Tuesday night at 9, looks like they are gonna be showing some great stuff.

Richie Freebird Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Did anyone catch The Disappeared on BBC 4 (or i-player) this week? Â I fount it to be a very grim, but also qute gripping film about individuals that were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 7, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 i'll take a look at that, sounds grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Decent watch,but nothing covered that has never been covered before.The Jean McConville story is still as troubling as ever though. Â Adam's will never admit to his alleged role in the IRA now that he's trying to pass himself off as a legitimate politician down here.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted November 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 Three documentaries I've recently watched. All entertainment related, but magnificent nonetheless:   Rodney Dangerfield Documentary  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 7, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) ahh thanks for posting that Dangerfield documentary, never seen that. Â and there's a better Caddyshack documentary than the one you posted Scott, there's a new feature length one on the newest Blu-ray edition of Caddyshack. Its not on youtube but it's well worth getting hold of. Edited November 7, 2013 by Ebb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a torrent of the documentary but it's seedless. Also love to hear Ramis' commentary. He just seems like the friendliest man ever.
