Sorry bootneck customs made me drink and smoke all my duty free goodies, sorry mate. :lol:

Well I finally watched the programme last night and at first looked good. Then for about 10-15 minutes went a bit weak but then picked up and I enjoyed the rest of the programme. The only thing I have a problem with was he kept talking about Bravo 2 Zero mission. He kept brining it up it just seemed to me a bit boring, but when he was not talking about it the show was good.

Hello everybody!

I was just wondering if anyone happened to record these episodes on their computer so that we can watch them here across the pond... (most of the tv here is crap!)

Cheers!

The show must of been a set-up.

Chris had no chance in this show, but in the others he was always one step ahead.

What a finale, aye... :D

I think the whole programmes a joke tbh, in real life he would have been able to shoot at the hunter force, no doubt about it that he would have taken a potshot at the quad guys, well all depends really. They should atleast give the guys paintballguns or something.

This week it was just impossible imo, how the hell is 1 guy going to get the pilot who is being guarded and then make his way to the runway if people can shoot the plane down anyway?

As I said, give them paintballguns :)

Ahoy there!
Chris Ryan had no chance in this episode for one very good reason. A Royal Marines Commando, SNCO was in charge of the hunter group!
Nuff said!
Well done big Ken Waterhouse.

I think this he had a good chance of getting away, but not a good chance of completeing the mission. But once again he did well, he nearly got away in the end, and if he had never nicked that horse I dont think he would of got to the mountian's before the Hunter Force. In the end there was just to many of the enemy. I think Ken Waterhouse (RM) was glad to get his man at the end of it, he was getting a little ticked of to the end.

I enjoyed that one :D, is that the last epesoide ?

Watching the hunter force picking up his tracks was the most interesting part. Anyone know what happened to SAS survival secrets?

Who's getting so excited mike, not me mate ?

I think Mr Ryan was doing the camera work and sound recording. The camera records the sound so why did you make the the point of the sound recording being a problem ?.

I think he had a mini camera, so filming was not much of a problem, I'm not saying he did all the filming but most I reckon.

Man on the moon.... now really mike. :-?

Its true about us not going to the moon Jason. There was a documentary on channel 4 (I think) last year with very convincing evidence showing that man didn't go to the moon in 1969, maybe since, but not then.

Ryan did some filming himself, and for the wider angle shots you talk of Mike, he met up with camera crews at the RV's.

Yes Rabby I saw that programme as well, I was messing about :) . It had the US flag blowing in the wind, there is no wind in space. There was loads of other pictures that looked really dodgy as well, good programme really got you thinking.
