Hope it's been cancelled, my wife watches it and God it is awful

The first 2 series were good, but this series is just abysmal. I'm no prude, but the gratuitous nudity in the first episode, coupled with a completely unrealistic Max Payne shootdive at the end had us cringing. We gave the second ep a chance but regretted it almost straight away.

It's telling that 90% of the original cast didn't want to return for S3, and were killed off (all conveniently wearing headscarves to conceal the fact they were stand-ins) in the first 5 minutes

============================
I ate what?

Should be Ulitimate FARCE
I will never watch anything with Grant Mitchell in, he cannot act
He only has one expression (hard man!).

Will happily watch Hercule instead of the ulitimate farce drivel.

Must admit, this series is a bit "A-Team" jumping out of an 'about to explode' van, ever lasting bullets!

Last saturdays episode was like the lobby scene in "The Matrix", at least The Matrix was sci-fi.

The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California, less than 100 were made. My father spent 3 years restoring this car.....it is his love.....it is his passion....."it is his fault he didn't lock the garage!"

D'ye think he'd be the fattest SAS man ever ?
Someone mentioned it has terrible continuity as well.
Something about a car being screeched into a car parking space at an angle.
Next scene it was perfectly placed between the lines etc.etc.
I did give it a go once but I was appalled at how bad it was.
Blake's 7 had better special effects.

My mum told me to watch this as she said 'it was good' and I have to say Im hooked...not because its good...because its so bad its funny..the exploding van over the quarry edge was great ...actually that whole episode was tv gold....hillarious

So whens it back on?



I Own Dvds

First series - pretty good. Chris Ryan as advisor and even in some episodes. Pretty true to those Ryan/McNab type books.

Second series - no Ryan, but still a writer who knows a bit. Got sillier, but OK.

Series three - I like the A-Team comparison above! FAR too silly

Magic - there's a fansite mate! They are "investigating" when it's on next

I wind my Mrs up when she watches Eastenders - everytime someone says "I wish Grant was here" or words to that effect I pipe up "But he's left and joined the SAS!" Well, seemed funny at the time :S

I admit to enjoying it. To me it's the old thing - good versus evil, cowboys and injuns, white hats versus black hats. Just a modern day version of those old escapist black and white movies.

Edit: think I should have used the word escapism not escapist. Grammar not too good today.
