TVNZ to produce war series on Anzacs

TVNZ is set to start work on a major documentary production based on the acclaimed BBC series Colour of War.

The three-part series Colour of War - The Anzacs will be made in New Zealand and Australia with cash from both countries.

It will screen on TV One late next year and will feature rare newsreels, home movies and first-hand accounts from the build-up to World War II to the end of the Vietnam conflict.
