Excellent drama based on the famous play written by RC Sheriff about life in the trenches during the first world war. The original play is all set in the dugout but of course, because this was television they could do external action like the raid into the German trenches to capture a soldier to question.
It shows how each person dealt with the horror in their own ways. One was a very big drinker, one was almost still a child who hero worshipped the drinker. The older, perhaps wiser one used to read Alice in Wonderland and philosophise about it. Another was very down to earth and the final one tried to invalid himself out.
Above all, perhaps like Blackadder, it asked the question 'Why ?' I cannot answer that. Watch it and see if you can.
