Brilliant series.

However slow motion on tonight's episode was beyond cringe worthy.

Particularly when accompanied by choir music.

And really annoying that we couldn't see who they were shooting at.

No problems with the dress codes anyway, coy cdr rocks up in shorts, t-shirt, flip flops, shades on head!

I'm hoping to find this on catch-up somewhere as I missed the show, it sounds to be a good insight in to the life through the marines eyes rather than just a 'tag-along' as are the Ross Kemp shows (don't get me wrong, I still like the Ross Kemp ones and respect him, it's just not as enthralling as it could be).

Just out of interest what makes "enthralling" tv nowadays?lads being hit/taking incoming/ ending up as fucking amputees!!!! All frontline tv is tag a long green lid reporter or not!

Isn't the reporter the one who was in the series the 55 year old commando ?

Really annoying that we couldn't see it? Not as annoying as being the one getting shot at and not being able to see the firing points

All the slow mo shit, over dramatic voice over and epic music is cheapening the whole thing, I thought Terrill was a bit better than that.

I'm also suspicious that there is manipulation in the production period/editing he has obviously filmed a shit load of talking heads i can't help wondering if he has sold us the wounded Cpl just to get the pay off of saying x weeks later Cpl y got blown up

But then thats tellybox stuff for you

Apart from the chadness its quality viewing.

I think Terry didn't receive his copy of the production schedule in sufficient time as to get within 'zooming' distance of the compound, or, possibly they were still stuck in make up and the whole contact was faked?????
