Peter Jackson’s highly anticipated First World War archive feature film They Shall Not Grow Old and classic BBC comedy series Blackadder Goes Forth lead a range of remembrance programming that will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer this Sunday, to mark the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day.
“BBC iPlayer brings you a unique range of programming throughout the year and for this landmark anniversary we have made available a collection of new and previously seen content that can speak to every generation.” Dan McGolpin, controller of programming for the BBC commented.

They Shall Not Grow Old uses the voices of the veterans combined with original archival footage to bring to life the reality of war on the front line for a whole new generation. Footage has been colourised, converted to 3D and transformed with modern production techniques to present never before seen detail.

Blackadder Goes Forth was the fourth and final series of historical sitcom Blackadder. Set in 1917, Captain Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson), Private Baldrick (Tony Robinson), Lieutenant George St Barleigh (Hugh Laurie) are on the Western Front in the trenches of the First World War, occasionally dealing with General Melchett (Stephen Fry) and his assistant Captain Darling (Tom McInnery)

The following programmes will all be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from Sunday 11 November.
