The World at War is fantastic, but it wasn’t made by the BBC. Rather it was made by one of the companies, Thames Television, that owned one of the UK’s commercial franchises in the 1970s and broadcast across the ITV commercial network.
It’s worth sampling if only for Laurence Olivier’s narration.
There is a similar BBC made series about WW1 which is almost equally good called The Great War

- klelatti 3y agoSorry for being a bit pedantic! Just think it's interesting that ITV did some good stuff in those years. TBF I think the BBC showed it later on (in the 2000s?)
- hermitcrab 3y agoGlad to be corrected. >TBF I think the BBC showed it later on (in the 2000s?) Perhaps that is why I misremembered it.
