This site contains the transcripts for the series, based on the 50' versions. These are one minute longer than the versions shown on television in the UK by Channel Four. A full list of production credits appears at the end of the transcript for each programme.
Some quotes from contemporary letters and diaries could not be cleared for online use and have therefore had to be omitted. Reference to the films on VHS or DVD will fill these few gaps.
These transcripts are made available for help in study, for academic reference and general, non-commercial interest. They may not be reproduced in whole or part for any commercial purpose without permission from Wark Clements.
The series is accompanied by two books: The First World War by Hew Strachan and A War in Words by Svetlana Palmer and Sarah Wallis, both published by Simon & Schuster. There is also a CD of the music by Orlando Gough and Cecil Coles on Master Right Recordings.
