History Channel documentary style all about the Martian invasion. Watching it now. T&T fans look out for it.

That should read The Great Martian War.

This cropped up on Sky History 2 the other day, a couple of hours long so I've recorded it to wade through at a later date. Looks OK from what I saw of it.
Way better than recent WotW's !

I don't know how I missed it 2 years ago but that is really cool looking. Any Yanks find it this side of the pond? No joy for me...

It looks good. I hope that it is better than the recent BBC story.

As it's done in a documentary style rather than the WotW story line they used before I'm finding it quite good. About halfway through now.

It looks like it was on BBC America at some point Joe, if that helps any.
All in all it was quite interesting take on the theme - using real WW1 footage with CGI added & interviews with "veterans" and "historians" much like the World at War doco I thought it came across well, and there was a neat little twist at the end.
