ITV Studios / The Imperial War Museum (Exec: Ollie Tait)

Prime-time drama-documentary series to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, broadcast as part of ITV's World War One Centenary programming, Sunday nights at 9pm.

A fantastic cast recreate ordinary people’s lives during the war, based on their first-hand accounts.

I wrote the shooting scripts, based on primary source material I located in archives and private collections across the UK; I produced all four episodes and edit produced one episode.
