Yeah , I noticed that! Fucking irritating! In another 5 years, the story will be retold and they'll all be mincing about the desert in rainbow coloured jeeps...
An hour in watching live MotoGP testing at Valencia on BT Sport. Not sure who is providing the commentary but it’s inane and banal and with Simon Crafar reporting from the pit lane, I’m losing the will. Andy
It's ok i'll be down this afternoon your way with a rope and contract for you to sign over your motorcycles, there's life at the end of the tunnel after all.
Beeb writers did the same with ‘This is going to hurt’, a very good book to read. He was straight in the book but became homosexual in the TV series. It isn’t the only occasion that films/tv have taken liberties, a notable example for me was Zulu. They portrayed a character as a drunk insubordinate when in fact he was a highly disciplined soldier.
Another thought is (2 episodes in) they are portrayed as blood hungry, highly violent men who want to do nothing other than kill who also seem addicted to alcohol and drugs. That may have been the case, no idea.
I'll ask my wife's friend when I see her next. She might know - her dad was one of the 'Bravo Two Zero' team.
I’m fairly sure the LRDG featured in Rogue Hero’s had Pink camo vehicles at some point, unless an old mate of mine was a colour blind scale modeller….off to do some digging…. Ok back from digging the inter web and the LRDG used Chevrolets and land rovers painted Pink hence the nickname for them ‘Pink Panthers’. Have a picture.
Gangs of London. Decent enough series, but Jebuz, the music/sound effects are like something from an old silent movie! 'Dramatic music'
Really saddened by this (sorry didnt know where to put it), he always comes across as one of the decent presenters, not some stuck up spoilt half wit Jonnie Irwin: Place in the Sun presenter reveals he has terminal cancer - BBC News TV presenter Jonnie Irwin has revealed he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The 48-year-old, who presents Channel 4's A Place In The Sun and the BBC's Escape To The Country, told Hello! magazine his lung cancer had spread to his brain. "I don't know how long I have left," he told the publication. He added that he hopes his diagnosis will inspire people to "make the most of every day". Irwin, who shares three-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jessica, had kept his illness private until now. He explained that the first warning signs came in 2020, when his vision went blurry while he was driving, while filming A Place In The Sun in Italy. "Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live," he said. "I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own pretty much. That was devastating. "All I could do was apologise to her. I felt so responsible."
