Anyone watch this last night.

Bl00dy good stuff.

I think he done amazing reporting in the Chinook when you think he has never experienced anything like that.

You know I seen the adverts and missed when it was on only to catch the last ten minutes on the +1 hour digital. But seen enough to see it looked interesting. Used to Mike on Wheeler dealer but he was almost sick when they landed back and don’t blame him. ****ting bricks comes to mind.

You know its not a pampered Media outing when the support guys are shooting at the back and the pilot gets hit. Along with the machine failing in hostile air.

Truly scary stuff.

Ah, I'm glad someone else watched this. Ross Kemp in Afghanistan got such a huge write up, and this has flown under the rader. I thought when I seen the adverts that he'd be in Kandahar or Bastion and show you what was there, I didn't think he'd get out onto the front line.

As you say, Fi, his reporting in the chinook was simply brilliant. Not only to keep it together when they were being shot at, plus have a dead soldier at his feet, and hear mayday mayday mayday as they were returning to Bastion...brilliant, just brilliant!
