If I remember correctly Lewis Collins wanted to go 23 SAS.
Apparently he was at or near the fitness level.
I think that he was told... "Bog off you're a T.V. personality".
A bit too much exposure perhaps...........

Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan where in the RA but never the Para's Section of it. Also Bob Monkhouse was not in the Para's.

Sticky, don't you mean Kelly Holmes
Seem to recall she spent time at Aldershot training some of the Para Courses prior to leaving the Army - now that must have hurt......!
No she didn't. She was the PTI for the Duchess of Kent Barracks i.e all the lezzers!!
