Hello Chaps,

I'm looking to get hold of a copy, preferably a DVD, of a BBC documentary that ran in the late 80s - "Making of a Royal Marine Officer".

I see that a Sticky post exists in the Joining & Training section which refers to such a programme (and I assume that it is the same documentary), but the last post is quite old now.

If anyone could hook me up with a copy I would appreciate it (with reimbursement for copy costs, postage, etc, of course).

Cheers.

Hello Mike

Did you manage to find a copy of How To Make A Royal Marines Officer? I'm looking for the same thing and cant find it.

If you did acquire a copy, could you let me know where from.

Thanks

Bob King

This was all I could come up with.
The BBC archives have nothing.

Not sure it's what you were looking for,plus it's a commercial product but it may be of help.

I think its the documentary Artist was kindly copying for people on DVD a few years ago. I don't know if he is still about.

I know this isn't much use to you, but on 'TV on demand' on Virgin Media the series of Commando: The front lines is still available to watch. Very interesting watch. i dont know if you have seen it, but it follows 50 recruits through Commando training and into Afghanistan.
