A true proper insight into what really happens during comabt. It's a must watch! 1 of 3 parts! RIP to Chris Gray in tonights episode! Please check it out, very chilling but correct!

The wife didn't like me watching it as for me it's close to home.

Great watch, highly recommended. Managed to get a little emotional at the end myself, and that never happens!

Cant get it on iplayer?

Danfoss2011 · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:39

It's only just aired, it'll go on once BBC pulls there finger.

If iPlayer is a problem then EZTV

It's been through lots of apeals to be aired and MOD watching it i know that much. Some stuff shown at the begining my late little brother filmed so it was nice to see his works still doing the rounds!

DJMK4 · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:50

Your late little brother? were you both there?

MeEsH BaKkA · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:52

I have not seen this yet as I'm at work, but I believe one of my school mates is in this, Tony Cowley.

Just spent a week watching Pacific and Band of brothers, should be good for contrast.

I am not sure if I could watch it, I was considering it when my wife flatly refused to, I might catch it on iplayer when she's not around.

DJMK4 · 7 Jun 2011 at 23:09

So when is iplayer going to work?

Knightinator · 7 Jun 2011 at 23:11

I think there was some head cam footage in the Ross Kemp series which I thought was really insightful, have al ot of respect for our forces and definitely going to be watching this, thanks.
