The Last Tommy

on BBC One London

2/2. The powerful, poignant stories told by Britain's last surviving First World War veterans conclude with the focus on 1916 to the end of the conflict.
Claude Choules recalls seeing survivors from the Somme, where 20,000 had died in the first eight hours. Meanwhile, Harry Patch talks of the night in September 1917 when he lost three of his best friends in no man's land. Still haunted by these events, Patch embarks on a last pilgrimage back to the Western Front, where, at last, he meets the enemy. Director/Producer Harvey Lilley See also the film Regeneration, showing tomorrow at 11.25pm
