July 1st 1916 was the blackest day in the history of the British Army when a combination of bad planning and German bullets sent Kitchener's Army to their doom. An army that had taken two years to build took only a day to destroy.

Taken from the hugely popular television series 'Line of Fire' this programme harnesses state-of-the-art computer technology to explore, explain and bring new perspectives to the battle which symbolises the suffering of the Great War.

Featuring archive footage and specially treated recreations, 'The Somme' also includes authoritative comment and analysis by leading military historians from the royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.
