Why Jutland needs a series rather than a film

Would a film telling the Battle of Jutland from both sides work?

The dual perspective would work better as a full television series because one film could not adequately cover the battle's scale and chronology.

Telling Jutland from both British and German perspectives is judged to need a full television season. The proposed format is twenty-four episodes, giving roughly twenty-four hours of television. A single feature is considered too short for the two-sided treatment.
