It was his questioning which I found odd. "What would it have been like to be digging 70 feet underground listening for the enemy?" How the hell would the "expert" know?
"How do you feel watching that" he asked the daughter at the end. What sort of stupid question is that? What the hell does it matter to the viewer?
Potentially a good program ruined by his pathetic narrative.

I think it was the Daily Mail that said it would have been better without him.
Yes I agree, with shells going off who the hell is going to hear a bit/lot of digging 90 ft below.
What was good was the shots of the destruction, looked like an atom bomb had gone off.
If thats good, so to speak.

What would have made it a bit more interesting would be more superimpositioning of the photographs from those plates and/or the original airship film onto the way things are now, perhaps with a computer generated interlink.
That live shell could have been a starting point for a bit more exploration of a mini-tangential thread.
Such a shame that such a rich source of materials wasn't used to it's potential in the documentary. Wasted opportunity really.

They probably shipped that "live shell" over from the props department, the way it was just lying there, It wasn't even overgrown after 90 odd years.

Agreed, looked like it was just dropped there.
Can you imagine, the owners leave it there near that cemetary with visitors running around, and it was "live" SET UP

Mind you, the quality of his voice when he was in that WW1 plane was convincing - barely any background noise and such clear diction 
Was it my imagination or was there a sense of dislike when that expert was speaking in his ear in the airship?

As mentioned, would have been better with less narrative.

REPEAT...boring, why do they reuse their material? Different voice over, same material. IS this what we pay out license fee for? Then if we missed it, buy it on DVD? So why did I buy it on my TV license then? Why do I have to rebuy it?
