Narrated by Laurence Olivier, produced by Jeremy Isaacs, with music by Carl Davis and featuring an interview with Traudl Junge, Hitler's private secretary - The World at War had a lot going for it. Now Thames TV's award-laden 1973 history of the Second World War returns, this time to BBC2, in all its 26-week glory.
Tonight's first episode, A New Germany, traces the emergence of the nation from its crippling defeat in the First World War. It is 1930, and a bewildered people are turning to one man to help them out of their financial and social crisis: Adolf Hitler. Home movies of Hitler and Eva Braun contrast with the sinister machinations of the Nazi publicity machine, already gearing itself up for the "final solution".
