Re-Runs of The World at War , ( again)  . It still saddens and shocks me to see what mankind is able to do to his fellow man

I got the blu ray of this for my birthday the other week.

I've got the full set on DVD. I also have The Great War. 

One thing I love about both documentary series is the slightly dodgy sound effects that have been added to archive footage. It's pretty obvious that there was a Foley artist behind the scenes smashing up watermelons to replicate the sound of a German POW getting booted in the balls by his Soviet captors.

The Great War was criticised because some of the footage was flipped so that the Germans were always coming from the right of the screen and the British from the left, presumably to avoid confusing the viewers.

The mum who got tourettes on C4 was both hilarious and really sad in equal measures.

She had a brilliant attitude towards her condition.

Her Hitler impression was a fuckin belter.

My favourite was when she walked by the guy dressed up in the theme park and ticked "Paedophile!" [emoji38]

Pain, pus and poison on bbc4. A blinder of a documentary.

That's been on a few times before - really well put together documentary. Is it 3 parts? The details of what early doctors and scientists are really gruesome and we have a lot of today's medicine from trial and error experiments.

It is over 3 parts. The first featuring the development of anesthetics and pain killers is fascinating.
