Hot off the press from the trenches

Ian Hislop and Nick Newman wrote this charming, awardnominated drama from 2013. It’s based on a true story from the First World War when Captain Fred Roberts found an abandoned printing press in Belgium, enlisted the help of a printer turned soldier to get it working and set about producing a satirical, morale-boosting magazine for the troops; its title came from a mispronunciation of Ypres. Michael Palin, Emilia Fox, Ben Chaplin (right, with Fox) and Julian Rhind-Tutt are among the cast. Acorn TV, from Monday
