OUR WORLD WAR Our World War - Episode 1 by limukohou I was, I think, 2-3 years-old when my recently widowed Mom came home early from work and took me to see, for some mysterious reason, a WWI war movie.  Maybe to experience something of what my late dad had experience at the Bulge?   I remember this because I later had my first ever nightmare. In the dream there were looped visions of great, huge, sepia toned balloons rolling around in sepia colored mud. It recurred several times, and I never associated it with the movie.  It wasn't until 40 years later, or so, that I was watching an old WWI war movie and BANG.  There was my nightmare.  The giant bubbles were great boxy tanks rolling over trenches.  Mud and dirt and smoke.  I've later tried to find that movie again,  but no. Anyway, I was a WWII guy with little interest in the Great War.  It's only recently that I, and it seems the world, have developed a fascination for The Great War.  This first episode of the  BBC's OUR WORLD WAR may be the best.  Certainly there are none more innovative.  On Netflix and others.
