Anyone watching this series? I watched the second installment last night. I thought it was good stuff, he is embedded with royal marines in Afganistan. Its seems to be a warts and all documentary. Obviously they are sensitive to familys of servicemen but they werent afraid to show Taliban strongholds being blown to pieces.
Should be interesting to follow.
I think its good so far too. Really like him as a presenter for this type of show. He was genuinly frightem=ned/excited by it all!kind of like you would be yourself.. good stuff so far, and not all lickarse-ish to wards the attitude of the british military
I agree a really scary episode this week......Christ what a sh*tole that place is. Ross Kemp comes across really well and seems to get the lads to speak from the heart.
Top notch entertainment,made me very happy to be sitting on the sofa and not out in that kip of a place
excellent show , scary stuff did you hear the bullets wizzing over his head, deserves an award for bravery for going to that extreme to make a program
one thing that struck home was how young most of the soldiers were
Bull, he's going to that extreme to exploit the situation in afghanastan to make money for Sky or which ever low grade TV station commissioned this garbage.Quote:

He does a little too much editorialising but its much better that the gangs series, it got stale towards the end.
make you sit back and think what is the real point of the war, are the taliban ever really going to be stopped, will all the deaths really be worth it?
for all we know osama bin laden could be living in dublin and a bohs fan,would bliend in nicely:D

What aload of biased reporting
Not much of a war though when they keep calling in the airforce who basically plummel anything that moves
How is that not a war in all fairness? They've got the hardware so they're using it.Quote:

Thats what i thought. Seeing the coffins coming home was harrowing and the faces on the soldiers watching it was worse.Quote:
