They're getting good these torrenters, no.4 also available in 720p Hi-Def. Nice to see it getting so much attention! (warning: 720p = 1.1Gb)

Is this music or a film?

Well now AIDU you could be right, however....

Not living in the UK I pretty much ignore most laws, plus of course hijacking a neighbours wireless network allows me to do what I want with impunity....:E

Please Google Dictionary :ugh:

yes it is sorry to say!!!

I have great respect for Ross Kemp - AND HIS CREW - they put themsleves in harms' way while most reporters reckon a sharp pencil a bit dodgy...

One slight thing, which I am sure was an editing cock-up, the footage of F-15E's was declared as " F-16's in for strafing attacks " - as I say I'm sure this was just editing,.

I think Mr. Kemp has plenty of technical knowledge - and he's honest enough to say that while having acted the SAS bit, in reality he was sh**t scared !

I would think an award is on it's way - to be shared with the Vikings.

I noticed the F-15/F-16 bit, but 95 % of the population would never have picked it up.

I didnt notice but then I was watching for the fall of shot! :)

Hi,

mentioned this thread to my mate who is getting close to 22 years in the British marines. He and his buddies are glad that Mr Kemp is getting the message across.

He also extends an offer to niknak to join us all for a few beers in Plymouth, beginning of Aug this year, to mark his time spent serving his country. I expect a fairly quiet affair !!.

Rgds.

You can get Ross Kemp in HD off rapidshare, usually much better than a torrent as you can max out your internet connection.

I wish the BBC 6 o'clock news would set aside 10 mins once a week to some headcam clips, would make even more people aware of what is going on!

Great Series

Good tv.

These links are for the first 3 episodes if anyone's interested. The final one shows Private Chris Gray's death in contact, which was also broadcast from a different perspective in the Chinook prog a few months back.

On the soldiers of 1 Royal Anglian (and every other I would presume) Ross kemp stated...

"They aren't paid enough or appreciated enough"

Found myself spontaneously applauding the TV in my own front room...:D

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Thought that was a brilliant series, very well presented, and incredibly moving. Ross Kemp did a fantastic job, reporting on a difficult subject, and getting the message across as strongly as he did, and of course praise to the guys on the ground doing a great job, day in, day out.

This should be broadcast on normal tv, and to the house of commons!!

Once again, well done to all (especially the poor bloke running with the camera)

Spam

The final episode has just blown me away, absolute respect to each and every soldier on the ground out there.

Ross, a fantastic job out there, the public have seen it up close and personal. I just hope that the BBC get hold of the series sooner rather than later. :D

It may sound corny however, I'm due out in theatre soon & the Ross Kemp series has provided me with a great insight into what the Army are doing out there, more than enough motivation to make sure I do my best with my small part.

The really sad thing is that the series is preaching to the converted. Most viewers would have had respect for the guys n galls in field conditions anyway. The shocker was that it is almost WWI combat with bayonets and trenches rather then hi-tech. Award winning documentary and a shame that the MOD could not present Ross and his support crew with the appropriate medal for IMHO they deserve it.

It should be shown on terrestrial TV on a night when the other 4 stations has a power cut. Compulsive viewing.

"What do you remember about the (blue on blue) incident"

"I fell asleep in Afghanistan and woke up in Birmingham; and it looked the same"

Priceless.......

Outstanding final episode to an outstanding series, dedicated to ALL members of the Armed Forces, "Ordinary people doing an extraordinary job", to which one can only say, Here Here!
They cannot afford self delusion, young as they are. "This is Northern Ireland again, tour after tour. We lost nine on this one, so after six you have to be lucky to come home without a scratch". Kemp calls for far more helicopters, especially for Casevac, more pay especially for the lower ranks, and condemns the need for the guys to buy insurance not provided for them by the MOD, to which one can only say, Here Here!
Well done Vikings you make us proud, and well done Ross and team for putting yourselves in harms way to such a degree. Thank you one and all, well done!
PS. Ross speaks about the series at:

I haven't read all the previous posts but my friend's 22 year old son was killed in Afghanistan Feb 2007. Marine Ben Reddy RIP - a young life ended too soon.

Excellent series, Ross and his team have managed something that many have not been able to do. They have given an accurate insight into what is going on in Afganistan.

I would hope that Ross Kemp and his team will be welcome in Mess's around the UK for many years to come.
