🐾 Arya's Approval – Chief Drama Officer

"This is the gold standard of historical documentaries. When The World At War was first broadcast, it set a benchmark for documentary filmmaking that has never been surpassed. Laurence Olivier's narration doesn't just tell the story - it carries the weight of history itself, giving voice to one of humanity's darkest and most defining chapters.

What makes this series extraordinary is its comprehensive approach. Eleven discs means no aspect of the war is overlooked - from the political machinations that led to conflict, through the major battles that shaped outcomes, to the personal stories of those who lived through it all. The digitally restored footage brings these events into sharp focus, making history feel immediate and real.

This isn't just about military strategy or political decisions - it's about understanding how ordinary people found themselves caught up in extraordinary circumstances. The series treats its subject with the gravity it deserves, never sensationalising the horror but never diminishing the human cost either.

Essential viewing for anyone who believes that understanding our past is crucial to shaping our future. This collection represents documentary filmmaking at its most important and impactful."
