The Wipers Times: Directed by Andy De Emmony. With Ben Chaplin, Patrick FitzSymons, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Steve Oram. Based on the remarkable true story of a satirical newspaper published on the front lines of World War One, this poignant yet comedic drama revels in the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
“A really refreshing take on the First World War, with gallows humour aplenty. Definitely worth a watch for the perfectly judged performances by Chaplin, Palin and Rhind-Tutt. Sadly, the story doesnu0026#39;t really go anywhere and just fizzles out, so not quite a top rating, but so close.”
