Production
Joe Barton, the writer of the series, based this drama on first hand accounts of what happened during the First World War.
The series makes use of modern film techniques like fixed, body-mounted cameras and overhead battle scene animations, alongside a modern soundtrack featuring artists such as PJ Harvey, to attract a new audience. While some reviewers described this as "powerful" and "beautiful", others felt it trivialised the subject matter and would quickly date.
Parts of episode one were filmed at The Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent which doubled as the British HQ in Mons.
