成人论坛 to mark Remembrance Week 2018 and the end of the First World War centenary

Following an ambitious four years of coverage to mark the centenary of the First World War, this November the 成人论坛 will mark Remembrance Week 2018, and the end of the war across TV, radio and online.

Published: 30 October 2018

On TV, 成人论坛 One will air Remembrance programming including the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance 2018 and World War One Remembered: The Cenotaph - as well as specials of Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile, and the return of Home Front Heroes; 成人论坛 Two highlights include WWI: The Final Hours WWI’s Secret Shame: Shell Shock with Dan Snow discovering how shell shock has evolved into cases of PTSD that modern soldiers suffer, and drama documentary two-parter 100 Days to Victory. 成人论坛 Three will be making acclaimed Our World War available again, and 成人论坛 Four highlights include a special What Do Artists Do All Day? on Peter Jackson and Dan Cruickshank will reveal the story behind the creation of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Monuments Of Remembrance.

On Radio, 成人论坛 Radio 2 highlights include The Radio Ballads of the Great War Live, the Festival of Remembrance and Good Morning Sunday special. 成人论坛 Radio 3 will air Sonic Memorials; a Free Thinking on Wilfred Owen: Poetry and Peace and Opera on 3 - The Silver Tassie. 成人论坛 Radio 4 will conclude its broadcast of Home Front, air the Ceremony of Remembrance from the Cenotaph and A Service to Mark the Centenary of the Armistice and Tommies (w/t). 成人论坛 Radio 5 live highlights include The Dying Hours on 5 live Breakfast, Remembrance Sunday coverage from Folkestone Beach at the Pages of the Sea event, and coverage of events at the Cenotaph in London.

There will be the launch of a new digital experience, Armistice Day, which will help users explore what they might have done during the Great War through clips taken from the 成人论坛 Archive, personalised by where they live and whether they think they would have fought or stayed at home. The 成人论坛 is also releasing the award-winning virtual reality experience Nothing to be Written which received its world premiere at the 成人论坛 Proms this summer, and will be available to download for free. To mark the Two Minute Silence CBeebies and C成人论坛 will simulcast Poppies, an evocative, dialogue-free animation set to a score by Steve Price and recorded by the 成人论坛 Philharmonic. And 成人论坛 NI, 成人论坛 Scotland and 成人论坛 Wales will all broadcast special TV and radio programming.

Tony Hall, Director General, 成人论坛, says: “This centenary has inspired us all. It has re-defined how we remember, but also how we can engage creatively in events that took place 100 years ago and have shaped who we are today. I’m proud the 成人论坛 has played such a major part in that endeavour, working in partnership with so many organisations across the country. I’ve seen the difference we’ve made in communities, but also the way people have responded to the new stories we’ve been able to tell and to the moments of reflection that have brought us all together.

"And to mark the end of the centenary with Peter Jackson’s masterpiece - as well as showcasing all the Armistice events - is, I think, a fitting tribute to all those who served and to those we remember.”

Home Front
Mon-Fri (until 9 November), midday

Radio 4’s most ambitious drama serial charting life on the home front during the First World War reaches it poignant conclusion in November. The first episode of Home Front was broadcast on 4 August 2014, exactly 100 years after Britain entered the First World War. Since then it has run in real time to mark the full centenary of the Great War with the serial totalling over 110 hours.

The drama, recorded in Birmingham, follows the lives of a group of characters as they confront the challenges and changes of living in the shadow of the most colossal war the world had ever seen.

Based on real events, the sagas run in series (15 in total) with episodes playing out five days a week, giving the audience as realistic a grasp as possible of day-to-day life away from the trenches as well as an intimate connection with the characters.

The historical foundations of Home Front include: the first aeroplane raid on Britain, industrial unrest and the fear of revolution, the role of women in munitions factories and the censoring of their deaths, and pioneering treatments for physical and psychological injuries caused by war. All of which blurred the boundaries (for the first time) between the home and fighting fronts.

In remaining episodes of Home Front its characters dream of a brighter, more democratic future, spurred on by hushed rumours of peace. And yet, the struggle to maintain morale after four years of a seemingly endless war which has seeped into every aspect of civilian life is harder than ever.

Every episode of Home Front is available to stream online and download as a podcast for 10 years from broadcast.

成人论坛 Radio 5 live

成人论坛 Radio 5 live tells the stories of British soldiers who died in the final hours of World War I. More than 600 British soldiers died on 11 November 1918 and in the build up to Remembrance Sunday, a strand called The Dying Hours on 5 live Breakfast will feature interviews with family members of some of the soldiers who lost their lives on Armistice Day.

On Remembrance Sunday, Chris Warburton presents 5 live Breakfast from Folkestone Beach at the Pages of the Sea event. Sand artists are creating images of the poet Wilfred Owen at beaches across the UK, which will then be washed away by the tide. Owen died on 4 November 1918 at Ors in France - the news of his death reached his parents on Armistice Day.

Later in the day, there will be coverage of events at the Cenotaph in London, extended news bulletins and live coverage of Ringing for Peace as churches and cathedrals across the country simultaneously ring their bells at 7.05pm.

Digital

Armistice Day
Available now

What might you have done during the Great War if you were there at the time? To help audiences answer that question, the 成人论坛 is launching Armistice Day, a new digital experience that lets users explore World War One through clips taken from the 成人论坛 Archive, personalised by where they live and whether they think they would have fought or stayed at home.

Designed with mobile devices in mind, Armistice Day launched online on 29 October. Built by the award-winning team at 成人论坛 Rewind, who are also behind Your Story and Your Somme, Armistice Day offers users a local, personal, and interactive way to explore the war as it might have been experienced by somebody like them, had they been around 100 years ago.

Audiences around the UK can unearth quirky facts, short films and custom-made graphics they can interact with, giving them the chance to become immersed in World War One as never before. With tales from the trenches and real life accounts of home-front heroes - from the internee camp on the Isle of Man, to the pigeons that parachuted behind enemy lines, this is World War One, but not like it was taught it in school.

Virtual Reality Prom
Thursday 8 November

Ahead of Armistice Day, the 成人论坛 is releasing the award-winning virtual reality experience Nothing to be Written. The seven-minute piece received its world premiere at the 成人论坛 Proms this summer, and was named ‘Best British VR’ at the recent Raindance Film Festival 2018. From 8 November it will be available to download for free from the Oculus Store for the Oculus Go. It will also be available to watch for free at the Barbican throughout Armistice weekend, as part of the 成人论坛 Symphony Orchestra’s Total Immersion: In Remembrance World War I - a weekend of films, talks, and performances that explore the cultural legacy of the Great War.

Nothing to be Written transports viewers one hundred years into the past, as they face the impact of First World War on both the frontline and in the family home. Produced by 成人论坛 VR Hub and created jointly by composer Anna Meredith and 59 Production, Nothing to be Written takes viewers on a highly emotive journey through the anxiety of waiting for news of loved ones and the violence and horror of the trenches and hospitals on the front line.

The film is set to the second movement of Anna Meredith’s dramatic and haunting choral score Five Telegrams, captured live on the First Night of the Proms in spatialised sound with high quality ambisonics. Both the music and the film take inspiration from the field postcard, a method of communication during the First World War which didn’t require censoring. This meant soldiers could communicate with their families quickly, but at the expense of detail, choosing instead from a selection stock phrases like “I am quite well” or “I have been admitted into hospital” and applying their signature.

Nothing to be Written is a 成人论坛 virtual reality experience by 59 Productions and Anna Meredith, produced by 成人论坛 VR Hub, and presented by 成人论坛 Proms and 14-18 NOW: WW1 Centenary Art Commissions. It will be available from November 8 on the Oculus Store, and can be viewed on the Oculus Go. Barbican audiences can try it throughout Armistice weekend, 10-11 November. The drop-in event will run from midday-8pm on Saturday and midday-5pm on Sunday.
