Ah ! Dieu que la guerre est jolie
6.67
Satire sur la Première Guerre mondiale basée sur une comédie musicale du même nom, dépeignant le "Game of War" et se concentrant principalement sur les membres d'une famille (nom de famille Smith) qui partent à la guerre. Une grande partie de l'action du film tourne autour des paroles des chants de marche des soldats, et de nombreuses scènes décrivent certains des incidents les plus célèbres (et infâmes) de la guerre, notamment l'assassinat du duc Ferdinand, la rencontre de Noël entre les Britanniques et les Des soldats allemands dans le no man's land et l'anéantissement à leurs côtés d'une force de soldats irlandais nouvellement arrivés au front, après avoir réussi à capturer une crête longtemps disputée.

G.B.H.

Jul 18, 1991
GBH was a seven-part British television drama written by Alan Bleasdale shown in the summer of 1991 on Channel 4. The protagonists were Michael Murray, the Militant tendency-supporting Labour leader of a city council in the North of England and Jim Nelson, the headmaster of a school for disturbed children. The series was controversial partly because Murray appeared to be based on Derek Hatton, former Deputy Leader of Liverpool City Council — in an interview in the G.B.H. DVD Bleasdale recounts an accidental meeting with Hatton before the series, who indicates that he has caught wind of Bleasdale's intentions but does not mind as long as the actor playing him is "handsome". In normal parlance, the initials "GBH" refer to the criminal charge of grievous bodily harm - however, the actual intent of the letters is that it is supposed to stand for Great British Holiday.

La BBC Television Shakespeare est une série d'adaptations télévisées britanniques des pièces de théâtre de William Shakespeare. Elle a été créée par Cedric Messina et produite par la BBC Television. Elle a été diffusée au Royaume-Uni du 3 décembre 1978 au 27 avril 1985 et s'est étendue sur sept saisons. Le développement de la série a commencé en 1975 lorsque Messina a remarqué que le château de Glamis serait un lieu parfait pour une adaptation de la pièce de Shakespeare "Comme il vous plaira". De retour à Londres, il a imaginé une série entière consacrée exclusivement aux œuvres dramatiques de Shakespeare. Après avoir rencontré de nombreux problèmes pour produire la série, Messina a finalement présenté l'idée aux responsables de la BBC et la série a été approuvée. Dans l'ensemble, la série a reçu des critiques généralement négatives de la part des critiques.
