only ever found one other person out of a large bunch of nerds, that agrees with me, that episode was the best that was made.
it's fucking brilliant.they got it perfect, just the right balance of comedy, futility and empathy. it brings a lump to my throat every time i see it.

completely by accident though.the original ep finished as your see them get out of the trench, but they felt it didn't work, the only place they could build the set for the end scene as it is was too large, and the cast would've been too far away, for an audience present to have seen what was going on, and after the first couple of rehearsals someone suggested getting out an old style camera to film in slo-mo

I think you are right up to a point,but it was the pan out to the fields that they didn't intend.
What happened was a lack of rehearsals on the polystyrene floor, so they all bounced when they fell, hence the ending they made.
I think that is right anyway, I am sure I saw Tony Robinson saying that....

think you might be right (about the lack of rehearsals)and the fields was only decided on post-prod,
but don't think that the long shot was in the original script.

Ah I see.May not have been the case.
But who cares, as Smash said for herself, I can't see that final scene and not well up :D

you're not aloneI'll never forget the feeling when it was first broadcast - nobody [at my school] seemed to expect them [Curtis+Elton] to end it so poignantly. It was perfect and everyone around me thought so too

I don't find it either.They look happy enough.
It kindof reminds me of that bit in LotR, where all the ghost men help defeat the armies seiging minas tirith.

You can tell when civilisation is in a state of peril when the war dead are instantly compared to Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
It wasn't instant.i edited. and it was the hologramyness of the ghost soldiers.
