Despite the goof this is still superb.
Several shots of tanks appear in the film, both Mark V (Mark Five) and Mark V* (Mark Five Star). They have been coloured green. In reality, tanks of these types were painted "a neutral brown colour". See the article by the British Tank Museum which states that. "Surrendering to the inevitable, towards the end of 1916 it was ordered that the tanks should be painted in a 'neutral brown colour' all over." The staff at the Museum told me they were surprised that the filmmakers didn't consult them.

How WWI started :
July Crisis
The assassination ( of Duke Franz Ferdinand ) led to a month of diplomatic manoeuvring between Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France and Britain, called the July Crisis. Austria-Hungary correctly believed that Serbian officials (especially the officers of the Black Hand) were involved in
the plot to murder the Archduke, and wanted to finally end Serbian interference in Bosnia.[60] On 23 July, Austria-Hungary delivered to Serbia the July Ultimatum, a series of ten demands that were made intentionally unacceptable, in an effort to provoke a war with
Serbia.[61] Serbia decreed general mobilisation on the 25th. Serbia accepted all of the terms of the ultimatum except for article six, which demanded that Austrian delegates be allowed in Serbia for the purpose of participation in the investigation into the
assassination.[62] Following this, Austria broke off diplomatic relations with Serbia and, the next day, ordered a partial mobilisation. Finally, on 28 July 1914, a month after the assassination, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.

On 29 July, Russia, in support of Serbia, declared partial mobilisation against Austria-Hungary.[63] On the 30th, Russia ordered
general mobilisation. German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg waited until the 31st for an appropriate response, when Germany declared Erklärung des Kriegszustandes, or "State of danger of war".[64][65] Kaiser Wilhelm II asked his cousin, Tsar Nicolas II, to
suspend the Russian general mobilisation. When he refused, Germany issued an ultimatum demanding its mobilisation be stopped, and a commitment not to support Serbia. Another was sent to France, asking her not to support Russia if it were to come to the
defence of Serbia. On 1 August, after the Russian response, Germany mobilised and declared war on Russia. This also led to the general mobilisation in Austria-Hungary on 4 August.
The German government issued demands to France that it remain neutral as they had to decide which deployment plan to implement, it being extremely difficult to change the deployment whilst it was underway. The modified German Schlieffen Plan,
Aufmarsch II West, would deploy 80% of the army in the west, while Aufmarsch I Ost and Aufmarsch II Ost would deploy 60% in the west and 40% in the east. The French did not respond, but sent a mixed message by ordering their troops to withdraw 10 km (6 mi)
from the border to avoid any incidents, and at the same time ordered the mobilisation of their reserves. Germany responded by mobilising its own reserves and implementing Aufmarsch II West.
On 1 August, Wilhelm ordered General Helmuth von Moltke the Younger to "march the whole of the ... army to the East" after being wrongly informed that the British would remain neutral if France was not attacked. Moltke told the Kaiser that attempting to redeploy
a million men was unthinkable, and that making it possible for the French to attack the Germans "in the rear" would prove disastrous. Yet Wilhelm insisted that the German army should not march into Luxembourg until he received a telegram sent by his cousin George
V, who made it clear that there had been a misunderstanding. Eventually the Kaiser told Moltke, "Now you can do what you want."[66][67]
On 2 August, Germany occupied Luxembourg, and on 3 August declared war on France; on the same day, they sent the Belgian government an ultimatum demanding unimpeded right of way through any part of Belgium, which was refused. Early on the morning
of 4 August, the Germans invaded; King Albert ordered his military to resist and called for assistance under the 1839 Treaty of London.[68][69][70] Britain demanded Germany comply with the Treaty and respect Belgian neutrality; it declared war on Germany at 19:00 UTC on 4 August 1914 (effective from 23:00), following an "unsatisfactory reply".[71]

"your support of a pedo btw"
That is a disgusting slur and lie above and you know it. You really are a disgusting little man, burning up with anger that nobody believes your nonsense and just laughs at you. The thread is still there for everyone to see I've done no such thing.

I thought it was impossible for the people on the forum to form a lower opinion of you, but I'm sure you've just managed it.
Blah! Blah! Blah! The gubbings you come out with are worthless time and time again,i ask a question and you never respond, here you will like this "The WW1 Conspiracy" and see how it really started
At least he is on the right side of the Thatcher/Morrison debate this time !
JC ...you are starting to sound like a bully ! (harrssment !)
JC ...you are starting to sound like a bully ! (harrssment !)
He is a joke Leopard,Have a look at that video and see how it differs from the Offical line you posted
The reason i choose my username , which is not my surname , was a way of myself paying homage to my two great uncles , Christopher and Philip Culvin . They both served in The Great War . Philip served with The Royal Garrison Artillery , and Christopher served with The Royal Munster Fusiliers . Philip returned , relatively unscathed , but Chris was badly gassed , to the extent that his health was basically destroyed . REST IN PEACE , Christopher And Philip Culvin . 
Bully? He's calling me a pr1ck above and blatantly lying about something disgusting to attack me further, even though anyone can go read the thread and see I've not done the thing he accuses me of, but because he agrees with you on somehting *I* am the bad guy? This is quite unbelievable stuff.
I've seen the programme , it's very good . I don't ever watch anything on the beeb , but i watched that .
Yes it was very good. Nice touch at the end to lighten the mood with the story about "have you been on nights?"!
The subject was on the then Prime Minister and her links with a pedo, when someone said what was the point of the fred,(the point was very plain to see) you as usual jumped on the bandwagon with your revolting post given the subject of little boys having their lives ruined "ITS QUITE PATHECTIC ISNT IT POSY". You are the worse type.
Oh that's sad, because of a timing technicality it will never be considered for an oscar:
"Because it missed the 1 October 2018 filing deadline, the film was deemed ineligible for consideration for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 91st Academy Awards; because it is still a 2018 film, it will also be ineligible for the ceremony the following year."

I say with that one post you are supporting the actions of a pedo, what would you call it not checking?
"Done no such thing" all in black n white. And no,i just don't like you.
Not content with being the forums looney conspiracy theory nutter Terry now resorts to smearing.
Wonder who he learned that from.

Smearing what? btw you are yet another you folds like a pack of cards when asked question big man
Beg your pardon you did, ok you are very quick to rubbish David Ickes work so you in case must have a good knowledge of what he says,of course that's fair enough to disagree,so hows your opinion differ on say, Geo-engineering, Vaccines,AI,HAARP and CERN. Over to you.....
