Did you notice how they emphasised military sayings? Like, "we're setting up a LYING UP POSITION so you're going on STAG then in the morning the OC says we'll go back to the RV."

In the episode I saw they had some Chechens taking over some super secret lab in England. The lab was so important that its security system consisted of only an old guard at the front desk. Hmm.

Actually, in that episode, they had the baldy guy hiding behind the wall to escape the CCTV, so it was more sophisticated that you think. :wink:

That still didn't stop him getting spotted and pulled in by the terrosrists though. :roll:

That bird is 1 of the main attractions. I was quite disapointed when she died, she lovely.
And while were on the subject dont the SBS handle those kind of boat situations, but I surpose it aint exactly true to the real thing is it.

Hmm, not bad at all, though the thinking does seme to be a bit skew whiff... You've just started a new series on the SAS. So what do you do? Kill off half the team including the main reason 20% of blokes watch it (at a guess :) ), set the other half up to hate each other, and knock off a few French people. EH?

As for the whole police thing, the trailer for the next episode showed nothing but old men shouting at people and a court, so I'm led to believe the producers have run out of places to shoot people, so they're trying to mould it into one of those dodgy legal drama jobs :). This one was OK though, not bad action, nice guns (uuuuuuuuziiiiiiiiiii.... Mmmmmmmmmmm), and plenty of inaccuracies to laugh at :).

And as for the SBS thing, that's true (I think so anyway, ships in habour used to be an SAS responsibility but I'd thought they'd changed that), but unless they're planning to do an SBS series we'll probably end up seeing the SAS everywhere. After all, bank jobs aren't generally a military affair :).

I watched it, i know its nonsense but i still found it fun to watch

the idea of french special forces and british s.a.s ina massive firefight in england was a strange idea though!!
