I watched Max Hustings' documentary on WW1 last night and was impressed; it'll be on iplayer for the next few weeks so I might revisit it.
It was on the whole a balanced account of the main issues and he interviewed a number of other key historians of the period to good effect.
Meanwhile The Daily Telegraph has also seen Niall Ferguson's programme which is to be broadcast later this week:

I aim to watch it, but from what I've seen already plus read in the reviews it definitely seems that Max Hastings is the winner. in this case it will definitely be over by Christmas!
