I think my knowledge in WW1 history is lacking, can you guys recommend me some good documentaries about WW1?
Cassian Harrison, Channel Editor, BBC Four, says:
“I am delighted to bring these two seminal series about the First World War to BBC Four as part of our commemorative season. ‘The Great War’ was produced to mark the war’s 50th anniversary, and was the first to feature veterans’ first-hand testimony, so I am immensely proud that BBC audiences will once again have the chance to watch what many regard as one of the greatest historical series ever made.
Sir Hew Strachan’s 2003 series, ‘The First World War’, was celebrated for its breadth and originality, covering not just the Western Front, but many other theatres of a global conflict. Together, the two series offer an extraordinary counterpoint – and panorama – of World War One. I am sure our viewers will find them a compelling addition to our overall coverage.”
The 2003 10-part series "The First World War" will give you a nice overview. Most (if not all) episodes can be found on YouTube...

Thanks guys, I'm watching the series that doubleplusungood posted. I'll check the rest in due time. I can't believe how little I knew about the conflict.
