BRITAIN AT WAR (IN COLOUR). Documentary and newsreel film of World War II has been seen before, but Britain at War - In Colour is different. Much of the footage here was shot unofficially by servicemen and civilians as a personal record of events unfolding, giving the three programmes a more inward, human quality. "Darkest Hour" covers the period from the government's failed policy of appeasement, through the months of misfortune and failure, to the turn of the tide in North Africa late in 1942.
