As a bit of a break from my trips out and about, you might be interested in a new programme that’s being shown in the UK from tomorrow, ‘The Pacific‘, a ten part miniseries about the US Marines’ engagements in the Pacific theatre during World War II.
I’m rather looking forward to it because I am a bit of a fan of war dramas, and it’s from the same people who brought us ‘Band of Brothers‘, namely HBO, and is produced by Stephen Spielberg, Gary Goetzman and Tom Hanks (who does some of the narration – hooray!). It’s currently being shown on Sky Movies (talk about a cynical ploy to get people to part with more of their money – it’s not a film it’s a TV series for goodness sake) although I’m sure one of the terrestrial channels will pick it up later, and it’s bound to appear on DVD.
Here’s the trailer…
