The Algerian War was a momentous struggle for independence from France by Algerian nationalists between 1954 and 1962. This eight-year conflict caused the fall of six French Prime Ministers and eventually the collapse of the Fourth Republic. It returned Charles de Gaulle to power but also almost saw his demise and twice brought civil strife to mainland France, and the fear of a military coup. It resulted in the deaths of at least one million Algerians and the exodus of as many European settlers. It was the last of the old style "colonial struggles" and the first of what would become the widespread wars of decolonization. It also marked the first practical application of what we today call counter-insurgency.

Doomsday does not attempt to tell the whole story of the First World War. Rather it shows how the experience of that war shaped the character and outlook of a range of men on both sides who would go on to become political leaders or top military commanders in the Second World War. On the Allied side the three part series looks at Bernard Montgomery (“Monty”), Charles de Gaulle, and George S. Patton. On the German side it looks at Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goering, and Walter Model. The personal stories of these men are set against the backdrop of a bigger political and strategic reality. Throughout the series, leading historians explain how, in different ways, the war left its mark on those who fought in it. Doomsday is a deeply moving insight into a time when the world and the face of war changed forever.

Edwardian Farm is an historical documentary TV series in twelve parts, first shown on BBC Two from November 2010 to January 2011. It depicts a group of historians trying to run a farm like it was done during the Edwardian era.

The series was followed by Wartime Farm in September 2012, featuring the same team but this time in Hampshire on Manor Farm, living a full calendar year as wartime farmers. An associated book by Goodman, Langlands, and Ginn, also titled Edwardian Farm, was published in 2010 by BBC Books. The series was also published on DVD, available in various regional formats.
