  Watched this last night on BBC iPlayer ; incredibly made and sad to watch .

  My maternal grandfather was at the Somme (Coldstream Guards)*.

  ; luckily survived otherwise I wouldn't be here .

  
  

  * Regiments are irrelevant really ; shells , bombs and bullets aren't selective in who they destroy .

  A terrible waste of life on all sides .
  

  You only just got to it in time Paul.  It has been removed from iPlayer after just 7 days instead of the usual 28/30 days.

  ... I suspect because it is a major film project too - it is on national release in cinemas at the moment across the country. This would complicate funding and licensing. Interestingly, the film is being given to every secondary school in the country too.
