It does make you very Anti-War…..young men sent to fight young men for a cause that none of them understand
Watched the first two episodes of this, and along with the Rogue Heroes accompanying podcast it's scary how much of the events in the series are actual events. The biggest deviation from truth is the love interest...although the historian on the podcast seems to think it as a metaphor as to how close Stirling was to French intelligence. The "traitor raid" that @Staines R's alluded to actually happened, right down to how it ended. The undercover mission in Bengazi, with Churchills son happened, and they've even downplayed some of that! These guys were seriously insane but bloody good at what they did. There's definately got to be a second series, and if we're lucky a third and fourth!
Went to see Mark Thomas’s latest show in Cambridge last night, very good unless you’re a Tory. One nice thing to see is there were a few QPR fans in the audience
Just started watching the Channel 4, three part documentary Italia 90 : When Football changed forever. Part one is very much about the social history of the time, the decay, the way fans were treated, the hooliganism and the general violence of being a football fan at the time. A great watch and if you were there, will bring back some great memories of the time
I watched the first part of Italia 90 - Four Weeks That Changed The World on one of the Sky channels - I'd imagine it's along very similar lines...hooliganism, English football being ****e, lad culture...also a good watch
Don't expect anything different from the 2nd and 3rd part. Watched all 3 and thought it was OK but nothing new I hadn't seen before on countless other programmes about it.
Anyone who loves their true crime stories as much as I do , has to watch this 4 part series. Utterly compelling, unbelievable and shocking. Superb
I was in the original documentary that came out not long after (they do an interview with the bloke in this one) For a brief second their is me, walking across the camera with my hold-all over my shoulder, while mayhem and tear gas going off in the background. Happy memories
Marisa Tomei in ‘My Cousin Vinny’…. Fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup, fup…, uuurgh.
