    Are you meaning the actual series on the Cadre or was there some kind of follow up episode about the blokes who passed?, not that there were many of them!
    A follow up series that was on the box a couple of years ago. The CSgt in it went on to be the RSM of 45 Cdo who was campaining for us not to pay tax whilst on ops, he was in all the papers at the time.

    Technology, eh? Where would we be without it? Bows and arrows for assault rifles?

    Is there a thread containing all these kind of Documentaries that have been made through the years?
