this be a very funny series but please do not confuse it with a history of wwi . david lloyd george ( the british prime minister ) and douglas haig ( the general command the british army ) hat each other and after the war dlg get his memoir into print very quickly this lead to the myth that the british army be lead by bungle officer and sacrifice for nothing . this show play on that myth in an extremely funny way . alas it also help rob the british army of it fine victory . despite that i love this show they visit so many of the controversial side of this conflict in what be at time a side achingly funny way . the end be especially poignant .
