I have watched a couple  of episodes of this new series which started on Sunday..
I never thought a topic like this would capture my interest..
But it has.. 
Michael Rolls might enjoy it.. not too sure of anyone else..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Gets a good IMDB rating
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10405370/

Currently out of stock at Zoony's

There is a five year old BBC series called SAS Rogue Warriors based on the same book there though.

It is loosely based on the truth...
The forming of the  SAS... Great acting..

Taa. Surprised it isn't stocked at Zoonies then. The original 3 partner is listed but the one I tried isn't working.

Ah the new one is available from Zoony's after all. I had spelled heroes without the e. I can download all 6 parts. I'll take a look.

Watched 2 now. It's all very gung ho isn't it. I'd say it is very loosely based on what happened but who knows?

I had thought we were going to see a lot more of the second in command of French military intelligence but either I blinked or it was edited out. Hey ho. Probably for the best at my age.

Scrumpy

But ... are you enjoying it.. ?

It's entertainment not a documentary.... So for the most part yes. Some gratuitous violence next would be good.

Watched the last two. Entertaining enough with a shovel of salt  :grin:

It does say it is based on the truth.  Paul was in the military for 25 years and knew some SAS men so I asked him what he thought.  He thinks it is probably pretty true.

Good old Paul.. We can rely on him to tell us how it is..
 I am enjoying it.. No-one expects it to be spot on .. They tell you that it is based (loosely) on the truth..
 Sheila.. Did Paul enjoy it.. ?
