WW I TV Productions and other mistakes
Was going to put these in the WW I threads but I think that in deference to the men and women of that war these "comic cuts" ought to be elsewhere.
These shots are from "The War That Changed Us", billed as Education/Information and the action is interspersed with scholarly little talks by academics.

Good eye Eoin. I watched a part of one recently that you needed to be blind to witness.The Germans were equipped with Enfields. One guy who was playing a US Army officer was standing down range next to targets at a firing range and yelling fire to the troops on the line....who were also using Enfields. Wonder if it was the same show?

Re: WW I TV Productions and other mistakes
Don't think that you'd have had a chance to see this one yet!
I've recorded it for nit-picking at leisure, and having a bit of a pick tonight I noticed one of the Turks using a Steyr straight pull M96, well that's possible but would have caused a bit of an ammo supply problem but not near as much as that that must have been suffered by the Australian who was armed with one as he lept from the boat onto the beach at Gallipoli, just in front of him was another chap with an even greater problem; he had to fight using a WW II Japanese Arisaka

Yes, I had to google him............
Seems he was similar to the American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, they both drew
elaborate gadgets to achieve a simple task.

Re: WW I TV Productions and other mistakes
But credit where it is due, another show "ANZAC Girls" which is based on the diaries and letters of Australian and New Zealand nurses who were in Egypt, on Lemnos and in France, has been excellent (to my eye at least).
Maybe these aren't originals, but more power to the producer if he had the quillons welded on again.

Bet that you can't fix the corrugations on the waterjacket!!
Bet the steam was rising without any water cans and tubes.
Or maybe it's sealed and is about to blowup as the steam pressure rises.
The second episode was much better and there is a nice Lewis gun in it.
