084.0 – THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD (2018)

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.”

‘For The Fallen’ (a poem by Laurence Binyon), why this, Thank You For Your Service, patriotism, In The Navy, Devoir de Réserve, how Yann joined the Navy, Manzoni’s questions (What were the theatre makers trying to do, how well did they do it and was it worth it?), were we lied to int he marketing for this?, Adam’s school trip story (visiting the battlefields, pals battalion*), old warfare vs warfare, film released in different phases, early days of cinema, military traditions, recognising your heritage**, 3D***, Peter Jackson’s grand-father, family matters and Yann’s research about his own grand-father, stuff in the BFI Q&A?, and various things. Long Live the Camemabra!
