It is slated to premiere on Channel 4 later this year. Worldwide sales of the series will be handled by Woodcut International.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson commented: &#8220;Our understanding of Britain\u2019s place in the world has been totally distorted by the amnesia we\u2019ve undergone with regard to the wars our country has fought in recent times. Ask anyone under 35 what they know about Malaya, Kenya or Korea and you\u2019re almost certain to receive a blank face. These are hidden, sometimes censored stories which I\u2019ve wanted to tell for decades, and I\u2019m delighted Channel 4 has given me the opportunity to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Polly Scates, acquisitions manager for Channel 4, said: \u201cWe were immediately drawn to the \u2018forgotten\u2019 element of the series and the opportunity to shine a light on a lesser known part of British history. We\u2019re absolutely thrilled to be working with Tony Robinson and Woodcut to bring these important but often unheard stories to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kate Beal, CEO of Woodcut Media, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a delight to be working with Tony Robinson again. His passion and knowledge for history, as well as on-screen presence, bring each episode to life. <em>Forgotten War Stories<\/em> also drives to the heart of those real-life experiences and seldom told accounts from individuals caught up in these conflicts who share their recollections, as such we hope this series will give a voice to many otherwise unheard.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4 in the U.K. has commissioned Woodcut Media to produce Tony Robinson\u2019s Forgotten War Stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289,5639,211],"class_list":["post-16483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","tag-tony-robinsons-forgotten-war-stories","tag-woodcut-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 4 Orders New Tony Robinson-Led Docuseries - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 4 Orders New Tony Robinson-Led Docuseries - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 4 in the U.K. has commissioned Woodcut Media to produce Tony Robinson\u2019s Forgotten War Stories.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-14T15:17:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-07-15T12:38:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Woodcut-Media-Tony-Robinsons-Forgotten-War-Stories-721.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 4 Orders New Tony Robinson-Led Docuseries - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-07-14T15:17:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-07-15T12:38:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/woodcut-media-readies-new-tony-robinson-led-history-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 4 Orders New Tony Robinson-Led Docuseries\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
