I watched about 10 minutes of last nights episode, during which the completely poor British forces were mown down down to a man, except possibly one who climbed a cliff to escape, I turned off at this point. The failure to respond in a professional military manner whilst under fire, not using cover, firing from exposed positions, whilst they were killed, all seemed unrepresentative of our armed forces and was more like something from a Rambo movie where the goody slaughters endless numbers of baddies whilst running around in the open and never being hit by enemies who obviously do not know one end of a gun from the other. Though perhaps our army in the 50's was this bad, but I doubt it.
