World on Fire

I watched this and will continue with it.

Well you were all right definitely worth watching so thank you

I am on the avoid all war violence camp, but I watched this and “enjoy” is probably not appropriate, but will continue to view.

I think it had something of Poliakoff about it.

I love Poliakoff, really enjoying this.

I missed knowing about 'Mum' until it was too late. I really rate Lesley Manville as an actress. I shall probably watch World On Fire, particularly as WW2 particularly affected all sides of my family (and DH's too). I don't like war films if it's just battlefields but this sounds really interesting.

Lovly to see 'Mum' Leslie Manville playing a mum who is a the complete opposite. Looks like it may be a good series, fingers crossed. Personally i love anything set in this period.

I wish Heimat could be shown on televion again. I haven't see this new series yet; will wait till I can watch it on catchup.

I liked it too, lots of human interest along with the war story. Be interesting to see how it develops,

I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much. It's going to be interesting following the families in the story but I hope it doesn't jump about too much.
Looking forward to the next episode

I’ll give it a try then thanks everyone.

I enjoyed it

It’s definitely my sort of thing. I usually find the first one of a new series just setting up for the rest. I’m looking forward to the next episode

Some of this was filmed in woodlands where I live. We had great fun watching all the activity.

This isn't my usual type of viewing either but obviously was watching.

It was quite good. I'll be watching. But I'm not sure I would had I not seen it being filmed!

I'm the same as you tanith. I had to watch some scenes from behind splayed fingers, but I did feel that it is a very timely drama. It was thought provoking about countries depending on each other when under threat, the consequences of allowing unreasonable behaviours to go unchecked and the turmoil and sadness borne by ordinary individuals.
