Television is also the site where the Western Front of popular culture clashes with the Western Front of history. This book examines the ways in which those involved in the production of historical documentaries for this most influential media have struggled to communicate the stories of the First World War to British audiences. Documents in the BBC Written Archives Centre at Caversham, Berkshire, the Imperial War Museum, and the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives all inform the analysis. Interviews and correspondence with television producers, scriptwriters and production crew, as well as two First World War veterans who appeared in several recent documentaries provide new insights for the reader. Emma Hanna takes the reader behind the scenes of the making of the most influential documentaries from the landmark epic series The Great War (BBC, 1964) up to more recent controversial productions such as The Trench (BBC, 2002) and Not Forgotten: The Men Who Wouldn't Fight (BBC, 2008). By examining the production, broadcast and reception of a number of British television documentaries this book examines the difficult relationship between the war's history and its popular memory. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xTelevision and the war 606 $aHistorical television programs$zGreat Britain 606 $aDocumentary television programs$zGreat Britain 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xHistoriography 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGreat Britain$xHistoriography 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xTelevision and the war. 615 0$aHistorical television programs 615 0$aDocumentary television programs 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xHistoriography. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xHistoriography. 676 $a791.456580941 700 $aHanna$b Emma$01046443 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458257403321 996 $aThe Great War on the small screen$92473340 997 $aUNINA
