World at War Episodes 1 (The Necessary of War) and 2 (The Pity of War) BBC2
 The Necessary of War Genre : TV Documentary Duration : 59 min Transmission Date : Tuesday 25 February on BBC2 Format : avi  Sir Sir Max Hastings will outline the case for the British Empire’s declaration of war on 4 August 1914. He’ll debate the common argument that the price of participation was so appalling that no purpose could have conceivably justified it. He’ll also trace the complex origins of the war to show that it was not a ‘war by accident’ but a conflict which the Germans, even if they were not directly responsible for its outbreak, could have prevented if they chose. And the film will paint a picture of a German Empire, under Kaiser Wilhelm II, determined on primacy whether by peaceful means or, if necessary, by war. Sir Max argues that for a great power such as Britain, which valued and guarded its freedom and independence above all, the conflict was neither avoidable nor futile.

Set in a studio before a mainly youthful audience and a panel of fellow historians, Ferguson's rival show The Pity of War (BBC Two) saw him pirouetting on a blood-red stage matching the lining of his elegant jacket. Like a lamb to the slaughter, he bravely set out his intellectual stall in the first half of the programme's 90 minutes, before seeing it torn to shreds by the big beasts he had so unwisely invited along in the second.
