If I may be so bold, having been out and about at the time of filming...
I quite agree with many of the sentiments given here. There are plenty of chaps in far more danger than those at KAF, but equally there are many at KAF (thinking CAS/SH/SF etc) that might lay claim to having done the enemy more harm than those elsewhere (who would consider those at KAF REMFs).
I can't help but think that the programme makers have some 'stocking fillers' saved for later that would have caught the imagination and fuelled interest in the programme.
Eight episodes based on the idea that 'life's a breeze out east' was never likely to maintain all that much momentum.
