Now being shown on Talking Pictures TV, this is an ITV series using rare archive historical footage with extremely well written scripts voiced by Michael Redgrave and other distinguished people. It shows a variety of topics from different years, eg 1936, put into context and pulling few punches given its age - a relatively early ITV/ATV production. Still highly relevant to what's going on in the World today it brings history very much alive and could be excellent teaching material. It's a shame that such a serious nontrivialised production probably would not be made today. Highly recommended - I would put it in the same league as A World At War.
