Everyone was beautiful, and everyone was in pain. It was like a Gucci ad for the horrors of war. Ad — content continues below. The staring continued in part two, as did the pain.
It was unrelenting, volley after volley of helpless sadness. The Beeb had better have our TV license reminder letters delivered in person this year so they can be followed by a reassuring cuddle to make up for putting us all through it.

Drama History Romance War. Add content advisory. User reviews 1 Review. Top review. Intense, powerful viewing. Part one was very good, this second one is incredible, there is an intensity in this episode that will have you captivated, it's moving, it's powerful, it's brilliant.
This was the essence of Birdsong that I remember, the scenes of the men going over the top, and out of the trenches, that was unbelievable, an incredible moment, very cinematic. You of course get the love story here, but this is more focused on the action, and there is a lot of it.
A story of love, friendship and camaraderie.
