They started running The Vietnam War here (the UK) on Monday. It is being shown on BBC 4.

It is also available in the UK on catch-up TV - including BBC iPlayer on the Internet: link.

They are running it in France and Germany too on the channel Arte. Albeit with close to 30 mins worth of content missing from each episode, because, typically, some genius decided that the schedule could not be altered to accommodate the full running time of each episode.

I'd stick to the full length versions in English, my German and French friends.

But, for the record, here is the mutilated version of the documentary as well:

Fallout Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.

I appreciate the effort from the folks out here to "carrying the word through". I can assure you, that you'll learn one or two things you didn't know about the war and find the U.S. Presidential recorded phone and other conversations revealing as well. The inner workings and politics of the North Vietnamese also very enlightening as well.

Thanks to all for the "word".

Regards,
Pat

Fallout Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.

This should wrap it up for me for this topic. Just finished watching the last chapter myself-very powerful as RecruitMonty pointed out.

Anyway, PBS in the U.S. to rebroadcast a Chapter every week starting this Tue. Oct. 03, 2017 @ 9PM EST over the next 10 weeks.

Take Care and Thank you all again!

Regards,
Pat
