Gallipoli E06 If Only… HDTV - Comwizard

Episode 6 If Only...

Sixth episode of the brilliant new 7 part Australian miniseries, Gallipoli.

Australian journalist Keith Murdoch visits the British PM with a secret letter that will change the course of the war. Tolly is commended for his bravery at Lone Pine, while Dave refuses to get help for chronic illness.

The greatest invasion in the history of warfare was to become a diabolical failure – an eight-month siege where the bravery of Anzac troops was squandered. But in doing so a legend, and a nation, were born.

As dawn breaks on April 25, 1915, ANZAC troops go into battle on the beaches of the Gallipoli peninsula. Landing in the dark chaos, Tolly, Bevan and their mates struggle to establish a tenuous foothold on the treacherous slopes and deep ravines. They endure the next eight months on the peninsula learning lessons of survival. By the time of the final evacuation they have also learned the skills of combat and what it means to be a young man in war.

This is a World Class, Epic Australian production, adapted from the best-selling book Gallipoli, by Les Carlyon.

Gallipoli is produced by Endemol Australia and was shot over a three month period commencing on 17 March 2014.

Filming took place in Melbourne and surrounding areas, including Bacchus Marsh and Werribee.

The 25th of April 1915 landing was recreated on the Mornington Peninsula.
