Tony Robinson's World War I
In this UK premiere Sir Tony Robinson, the history presenter and
former Blackadder star, tells the story of the Great War. How it
started, how it changed the world and how it finished with a 100 day
flourish of military brilliance, which finally put an end to four
years of incompetence and slaughter. With the aid of hundreds of
amazing archived 3D images of the Great War which chronicle WWI from
start to finish and breathe new life into the story, Tony Robinson's
World War I allows modern audiences to see the war in a completely new
way. Robinson will also show how the Great War changed British people
class, powering the rise of the Labour party and breaking the old ties
of service to the aristocracy.
Tony Robinson unpicks the Great War using a unique archive of 3D
photographs taken in the trenches at the time. These incredible images
have never been broadcast before in their original format and many
have been sourced from private collections all over the world. In the
first of four programmes Tony uses them to tell the story of how the
war started and how it destroyed Britain's professional army in under
five months.
In episode 2 of our series Tony Robinson asks whether the men who lost
their lives at battles during WW1 were lions led by donkeys, or
whether a brutal war of attrition was the only option available to
those in command. Using 3D images that were taken at the time Tony
connects with the men that were killed and the landscapes in which
they fell. He explores the stalemate of trench warfare through 1915
and 1916 and examines the cutting edge technologies that were used to
try and make breakthroughs. And discovers why we ended up at the
Somme.
In the third episode of World War 1 in 3D, the Battle of the Somme is
now in full swing but the Western Front is still locked in stalemate.
All that bloodshed and slaughter is leading to huge pressure on both
sides. And the Allies and Germany are transforming themselves into
technological innovations, in an attempt to break the stalemate.
Losing millions of men on the battlefield and living under attack from
the air at home, the British were forced to become more stoic. But as
we entered the modern world, were we losing our humanity?
unbelievable but there are thousands of 3D photographs taken of the
First World War, yet none of them have ever been shown on TV in their
original format.
This fourth episode through the aid of these remarkable 3d
lengthy stalemate in the trenches, the Western Front suddenly exploded
into life. Germany risked everything with one final push for victory
.But the Allies fought back. And, after four years of playing catch
up, British tactics and technology finally defeated the German war
machine.
This is the story of how we finally won the First World War.
