I'm looking forward to viewing Wipers Times as well.  My Mother and Father were both in their teens during this war; my Father being a young Stretcher Bearer in France from 1916 onwards.  Although I also enjoyed the satire of Black Adder (a brilliant ending to the series) I still think the best satire about World War One was Richard Attenborough's film "Oh what a lovely War" .  More so because much of the script was based on words actually spoken by the main movers.   For anyone interested in this part of our history I would also recommend a brilliantly written book "The Testament of Youth" by Vera Brittain (Mother of the politician, Shirley Williams) aptly described as 'A Haunting elegy for a lost generation'  Vera Brittain makes the point that as well as those killed, the whole generation effectively lost it's youth.
