I've just watched it on UKTV History (Channel 12 on Freeview), very good IMO. Another episode is on at 1700 this evening.

So far, so good...............but there was a lot of repetition across episodes 1 & 2.

We'll just see how often the same clips..........and good old Bruno Gesche............. appear tonight!

It must be difficult to make the story of Hitler's Bodyguard spin out over 12 x 1-hour episodes!

[Terry OToole]

12 episodes! wow , i think you are right about stretching it Robin

[Adrian]

Is it seriously 12 episodes? This is when I wish I worked 9 to 5.

Yes............12 episodes.

Each night at 5pm and 9pm.

Hi Guys, I have been watching these and so far I have enjoyed them. I must agree with Robin, it is a little padded out at times. Maybe the bad accent voice over for Hitler could have been done better or not included at all.

Hi Robin are you sure there are going to be 12 episodes? I wonder if the second show at 9pm is just a repeat of the first? I don't pay for the channel, so it ends at 6pm for me I know they are showing it out 4 times a day, just to get their money's worth

Cheers, Ade.

Hello Ade.
It's 12 episodes.............the 9pm is a repeat of the 5pm one.
I've watched 3 now, and it's becoming a bit repetitive.
Almost seems like...........not 12 episodes, but the same one shown 12 times!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Robin, seems like they will be dragging it out then!

Tonights episode on the "Night of the Long Knives" was ok, but nothing new in it.

Cheers, Ade.

[Robin Lumsden]

Tonight's episode on the "Night of the Long Knives" was OK, but nothing new in it.

I agree.

I think if one of these programmes was to be watched as a 'stand-alone', it would be fine. But watching one after the other shows just how much repetition there is in the series as a whole.

Don't think I'll be buying the 'Boxed Blu-Ray Set' when it comes out!

Cross-eyed, pi$$-artist Bruno here seems to be in them all!

I agree with Adrian, that voice over for Hitler is really effing annoying...embarassing even. It is even worse than the voice over that was used in the 'Hitler in Colour' programme last week, in which they made Adolf sound like a cross between Renee out of 'Allo Allo' and Bela Logusi.
I also agree that, so far, all the episodes have been very similar. That being said, it is good to actually see something different on UKTV History for the 1st. time in about 5 years.

Bruno ??

That's not Bruno.. It's "Ulric of England".
