World War Dead: Rise of the Fallen

- I don't really know where to start.

I think I've put a stop to it, I.

I think I've laid it to rest.

- The horrors of World War One

hide many mysteries.

What really happened in the 1919 soldier riots?

What happened to the missing

Royal Fourth Norfolk Battalion?

Did the London Scottish Regiment

really perish at the Maecenas?

Now I, Dr. Brian Locke,

together with an award-winning

documentary team,

led by acclaimed filmmaker, Marcus Singh,

will take on a journey through the battle fields

of World War One

in an attempt to find some answers.

Our first stop are the fields of a battle

that saw the greatest loss of life

the world had ever seen.

A battle that had no clear victor,

and hides many shocking facts.

The Battle of the Somme.

- Fire is easy if the ladies found out.

Where are we going, girls?

Where are we going?

You figured it out yet?

Like, Joanna, come on, you're from around here.

You should know where we're going.

She's German, Marcus!

I've got it, I've got it.

Look here.

Okay, just here.

If we go back in time

and get a sat nav that actually speaks English,

then we can arrive on location two hours from now!

- I'm so glad we can rely on the men to be helpful.

- Well, I can't hear you properly 'cause we're lost.

She's amazing.

Yeah, Emma's great.

I love her shows.

You know the ghost show thing that she has?

Yeah the ghost show.

That's funny. - I love it!

It's crazy.

Yeah, I've gotta go, bye.

This map is huge.

How do you think they do it?

Do you think it's like CGI

or do you think it's like physical props?

Oh, I don't know.

You'll have to ask Emma.

I'm sure they've got some kind of artistic license.

- So this a beautiful river in France.

We're panning 'round to our presenters.

So while we wait,

let's go and say hello to the talent,

Incredibility and the Clapper.

Boo!

Shit, Marcus.

- What are you guys talking about?

Um.

- Uh, well, to be honest with you, Marcus,

I've been having a few, um, problems

with working out how myself and Emma would work together.

And so, uh, well, she's been trying to reassure me.

- How did you do it on the UFO show?

The documentary.

Oh, no, that was real.

That was Marcus's thing.

- All right, guys, on action,

I just want a little piece to camera

about why we're here, what the documentary's about.

- Sure. - Okay?

Got it?

All right, Emma, we'll start on you.

- Okay. - Okay.

And action.

Hi, I'm Emma Washington,

and I'm presenting this documentary on the Somme.

At this point, I should probably hand over

to our resident expert, uh, Dr. Brian.

Thanks, Emma.

I'm Dr. Brian Locke, and I'm here to,

we're here to explore the, uh,

some of the mysteries and myths that surround the, uh,

the Battle of the Somme.

And also to, to, uh, to engage with,

um, some of those hardships

that the troops of the First World War, uh,

would've gone through.

Some of the horrors, particularly in the trench work.

- So, Emma, this is your first gig

with the BAFTA-winning Torchlight Pictures,

but is it your first historical documentary?

- Um, no, I've done a few bits and pieces before.

But I'm really looking forward to stepping it up.

Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry, what?

What the fuck?

Okay now.

Sorry.

- I'm just really excited to get started

and, um, finally get to the location

where all this history actually took place.

- But, I, I, I do think that it is vitally important

that we stick to the story of the Somme

and that we treat the subject matter with a, uh,

a degree of sensitivity. - Hmm.

- That's great, thanks, guys.

That's certainly Somme-thing to think about.

Seriously?

- We're on, we're on, we're on,

we're on, we're on.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to BAFTA-winning Torchlight Productions.

And we have one member of the crew missing.

Does someone wanna explain why we're missing Liam today?

- I'd love to-- - 'Cause he's a wanker!

- What happened to him?

He's drunk!

- Is that normal for Liam?

- Yes, it's very normal to be drunk for,

actually, it is very normal for Liam to be drunk,

but he's always turned up.

I find that quite suspicious, actually, Marcus.

- Oh, Daz, we don't need that camera on now.

- I'm tryin' to fix the camera.

What's happening?

- The call button keeps getting stuck.

- Oh, please don't tell me it's broken.

I haven't paid for that thing yet.

- Don't (drowned out by static)

accusing me, Marcus, I was taking (drowned out by static).

Are you two arguing?

He's whinging again!

Oh, have you argued?

I thought you kissed and made up.

We have kissed and made up.

- Aren't you gonna make it worse, Daz?

Hey, Joanna!

Brian, sorry.

Joanna, piss stop, please!

- Can you be a bit more eloquent?

- I'm not sure about it, not too.

I mean, is Marcus always like this?

Yeah, it seems like it.

- Oh, oh, I got one, I got one!

Are you lonesome tonight?

Twat!

Daz!

Why are you filming everything?

- I'm not recording, Manda.

I am merely checking the presets.

- I just don't want you running the battery down.

Once again, Manda,

I am not recording.

I am merely checking the presets.

- Joanna, what's going on?

This is the second time we've stopped, you know?

- Marcus, I'm trying to find this on the map.

- Okay, well, how long will we be?

As long as it takes, Marcus.

- Well, if you need, Joanna, if you need help,

you can ask one of us.

- Marcus, I would gladly take your help

if you're willing to give it.

- Joanna, I haven't got a problem with Joanna.

It's just we're running into a tight schedule!

Okay, you know what, Marcus?

None of this is my fault, okay?

If you want to help me with the map,

you can help me with the map.

Directors are supposed to know their locations!

Gareth Nunn would've have known the location.

- Fuck Gareth Nunn, that guy's a prick.

He hasn't won a BAFTA.

You're being rude!

- What, I'm not being rude.

- You're so fond of mentioning your BAFTA.

- Amanda, come on now, I'm just saying--

- Why don't you ever mention The Hadrian's Wall?

- I don't like Gareth Nunn!

There's no harm in not, not, not liking someone!

We'll be there soon and it will be fun.

Then everyone'll be happy and we'll have a drink tonight

and it'll be fun.

- I just don't like when you, when what you say is

loaded and I don't know what,

whether you're being honest or not.

- Amanda, please, can you just leave it now?

You're embarrassing us.

- I just don't want the controversy.

- Controversy? - What the?

What, sorry, what controversy?

- What are you talking about?

- You know exactly what I'm talking about.

- Well, what controversy, say it, say it.

Come on, Amanda, say it!

You say it.
