BBC was not banned from repeating this
29 July 2006 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

The BBC was not banned from repeating MM. If that was the case then why did the BBC license the series for release on video? The reason that MM hasn't been repeated is that it was historically a bunch of hokum. Don't get me wrong - entertaining hokum, I loved it when it was on TV and I bought it as soon as it came out. The historical adviser who worked with Bleasdale on the script was so incensed at the historical inaccuracies that he demanded his name be removed from the credits.

There were disturbances at Etaples but nothing on the scale of the riot depicted in MM. Percy Toplis was not at Etaples at the time of these disturbances (he was in Mesopotamia-Iraq), in fact he was never in Etaples.

That notwithstanding, the acting is excellent as is the script on purely entertainment grounds. Just don't leave watching this series with the idea that you've learnt something about the British Army in World War One - you have not.
