tales from the trenches
Peter Jackson’s film They Shall
Not Grow Old, which was shown on BBC2 on remembrance Sunday, was wonderful. the Hollywood director painstakingly restored old black-and-white film of world war One and brought it to life with colour. there was also narration from soldiers who fought more than a century ago and they helped us understand what war was really like. this surely deserves a host of awards!
