For decades we have all watched the horror unfold in black and white movies and in documentaries. Now on its 70th anniversary, rewind back and watch the Planet Earth’s darkest hour in colour. World War 2 In Colour on Tuesdays 8 P.M. on the Discovery Channel uses cutting-edge colourisation techniques and information taken from recently released secret documents to bring together the gory details of the war in all its deadly hues. The programme reveals aspects of the war that have previously never been examined. Follow Hitler and his party’s rise to power culminating in his August 1934 self-appointment as Fuhrer — a unique title granted by Hitler to himself. Learn how he re-built the German army in secret by openly flouting the military restrictions outlined in the treaty of Versailles in 1935. Re-live the drama of the Battle of Britain when London almost came down on its knees. On other theatres of war there was the fierce Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the British surrender at Singapore and the savage fighting in the Solomon Islands, which were all a part of World War 2. Watch all this and more in real time colour. Daring rescues Get set for the most adrenalin-pumping action-packed hour of unwavering reality on television. Most Daring every Wednesday at 8 P.M. on AXN India is the ultimate caught-on-tape rescue show featuring the death-defying rescue attempts ever caught on tape. Whether it's the heart-pounding clips, outrageous behaviour or spell binding stories, see how ordinary people tackle extraordinary situations. Every episode will have you glued to your set hoping help will arrive in the nick of time and save the victim. —NF
