He's an actor - and, incidently, a very good guy (from a personal point of view)
I'm finding it a bit too BBC for me.........

Just watched the second part and to be honest I understand what the writers are trying to do but I think they're failing. Is it a Love story trying to show the differences in the 2 cultures?or is it trying to point out the affects of PTSD and the occupation? Just one of those points would have done.
Prefered Linda La Plants 'Civvies' back in the day.

I agree. They're trying to fit too much in. If they had just stuck to one topic perhaps they could have given it a better quality feel?

Yup, far too much. Practically lacking coherence let alone quality.
