Great War Portraits

Always a difficult task, producing a drama on the First World War without falling foul of clichés. Similar in places to the classic and critically acclaimed ‘Blackadder Goes Forth’. The BBC's production ‘The Wipers Times’ did a pretty good job.
 
A story of two decorated officers, who created the trench magazine whist still serving in the front line. Amazingly their deaths in the 1960s didn't even warrant an obituary in The Times. Very funny in places, it's 90 minutes well spent. View via the BBC iPlayer http://bbc.in/15XlhKd
