Vietnam : Lost Films

[Moley RUFC]

In the military channel tonight at 9pm. Often have some decent documentarys on military. This is a 6 part series.

Preview looks good

I never understand what they mean by "lost" film. Where was it lurking? Was it ever really "lost"?

[Geoffers]

Saw it advertised last night, looks good, have set reminder on my phone!

Perhaps they found it in Gaddafi's inspiration vault recently

Any good? I forgot to put in on the planner

It was good. Not sure how much of the footage was 'never before seen' but it was fairly informative. Must be honest I had it on at the same time as having Liverpool v Spurs on the laptop!

I think using the term "Lost" is tantamount to incorrect promotion. In most cases the footage is defintely NOT lost and will have been seen many times before. I wonder do Ofcom pay any attention to such misleading programme titling.

I thought it was pretty good too, certainly broke the monotony of constant WW2 programming.

I did make a mental note to watch We Were Soldiers again when I get chance, which I believe is about the battle that first programme centered around.

Are dinner parties supposed to be a laugh? I look on them as a chore.

The term "lost" could mean the Military TV researcher left them in a taxi on route to the TV station only for the taxi driver to turn up just as the station chief was berating his young researcher
"Oh well, that's it! Their lost then aren't they!!!!!"
Cue Barry the cabby
"Excuse me guys are these cd's yours?"
Chortles of laughter and much high fiving amongst the TV crew.
"Well, least we know what the programme can be called now"
Cue collective sighs from TV crew and roll credits.....

There should be a new programme called "The Lost Imagination of the Programme Titling Department at Discovery Channel".
