BBC D-day coverage

[JasperRising]

I am prepared to be disagreed with over this but is anyone else finding the BBC's D-day coverage before the service of Remembrance a bit 'off'?

D-day was an incredibly important part of the second world war and truly horrific. I have read accounts and watched programmes that have reduced me to tears. But watching the BBC, I feel like I am watching the build up to Wimbledon or the Chelsea flower show. The pieces with the veterans are really poignant but all the studio segments and jumping around roving presenters, I just feel some of the impact is being diminished for all they say they are 'touched' or 'moved' or 'privileged'.
They had a veteran say that he talking about why he tells his story and the fact he wants young people to stay away from war but I feel that, as there are fewer and fewer veterans alive this is becoming an event to be commented on by polished BBC presenters on studio sofas and it is going to seem less 'real' to viewers.

It's just the style of how these big, disparate events are televised and presented nowadays. There's a lot going on at different times so they need to be spread out to cover it all.

Much as I like seeing & hearing the veterans, I enjoy the historians' segments, and the bigger picture analysis they contribute.

How would you do it differently?

There’ll be another one in 5 years.

MissSueFlay maybe have a shorter programme as a lot of coverage these days seems to struggle with having to drag content out to fill the slot?

Or have an actual documentary (with historical analysis and veteran input/recordings) immediately before the service itself?

It's all the 'and now we go to Dan Snow on a boat/in a cementary' and then cut back to the studio that I don't like. I have to admit I am not a huge fan of the extended coverage other events get these days but it bus exacerbated here because of the nature of the event.
