I have the WWII in HD Colour set narrated by Robert Powell, and my boys have watched it. After watching it, my eldest wanted to sign up for the Royal Navy the minute he finished school this year, and he was true to his word.

The History Channel on Sky TV regularly re-runs this series and very good it is too.
The re-mastered footage looks to be a great improvement over the original film and this is one of those series that you will never get bored with? It is possible to learn something new every time you watch a repeat and will always remain a real classic!!

Hi Nem ,Kev Looks like your son has an adventure in front of him and a good career, all that free travel ect lol. Kev Yh its repeated a lot on the cable and satellite channels but they also cherry pick what parts are shown they do tend to forget some installment's that are less savory to the viewer and the DVD also has optional extra's that have not been seen since 1973 that were shown as a precursor to the series when it was first released.

This series is the bee's knee's not only has the whole original series been enhanced and restored but its the extra's you get afterwards that are rarely shown now and the last DVD that tells the story of the researchers and there trials in interviewing so many people that were shall we say reluctant. The lady researcher that retells the 18 months of just chatting to Hitlers secretary before she gave her interview and how they became friends and how they ferreted out the people that were trying to cover themselves and hide the truth. All I can say is top series and making your kids watch this will bring home the true horror of a war we never want to repeat.

Canno agree more a great series, unfortunately I don't think we learn the lessons as there has only been a couple of days of peace since Ww 2 “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain
