I first saw this series when it was first shown on UK TV on daytime programing??? Who they expected to watch I cannot imagine. I was at home recovering from a serious industrial accident, it was worth the pain and injury to see this epic tale, which was shown with no pre-publicity. When it was repeated on Sunday evenings over a year later I made a point of recording it. When my children raved about the excellent 'Band of Brothers' I promised to treat them to ANZACs. When I eventually sat down with my 15 year old boy, fan of Medal of Honour, Band of Brothers etc. he was for once speechless and we sat till 3.30 am watching the whole series in one sitting in turns crying, laughing and cheering. I cannot imagine any other 'entertainment'? having this effect.
