Spiral (Engrenages in original French).
simply brilliant. Narrative tension, superb cinematography, acting outstanding. On iPlayer.

If you want to watch something comparable to "World At War" I recommend Ken Burns' Vietnam War, in many ways it forms a very important companion piece to WaW

Reminded of a great, but rarely shown gem of the past yesterday, by the passing of actor Jack Hedley. Better known to those of my generation as Col Preston, Commander of the British prisoners of war in Colditz! A programme much loved by my 10 year old self and my school mates, but hardly ever seen on our screens for some reason or other. Have caught up with episodes over the years during my travels in the US and Canada, and must say it more than stands the test of time!

Yes, really enjoyed that series as well, some of the musical links were brilliant. The US version was quite a bit longer than the one originally shown over here.

No idea. Because Laura wasnt murdered in the end right? But if thats the same reality, what reality was the good Cooper doppleeganger in with the las vegas family?

The beauty of TWOW was that it interviewed people who were “there”… but also enough time had passed which allowed people to talk more openly about it.

I seem to remember there was a bbc series on the Iraq war a few years back, which was very good

I quite fancy Hitler's secretary from the world at war.

Let it go mate, she's not your type.

The Prisoner was pretty enjoyable in its day, and in the modern era Spiral, The Bridge, The Killing, Killing Eve

BBC Colditz

Succession is looking like a genuine contender. Some amazing acting all round.

what channel is world at war available on?

It's on Yesterday, but the current run is nearly finished. It's on quite regularly though.

Leaving aside factual series, ie World At War, then the greatest TV series ever is.......

Hill Street Blues

Hill Street Blues

Loved it. Me and my mate applied to go on Pointless a few years ago and both of us would have chosen Hill St Blues as our favourite final category. Passed the audition in York but didn't get invited on.
