Greatest thing the BBC has ever shown?

Been watching them again all week.

discuss.

Most probably the best piece of World War II based film available.
Far better than any film thats endorsed by Hollywood main-stream celebrities.

Really gets to me; this program.
Just goes to show that war really isn't all that glamorous.

Pure brilliance.

got the box steel can edition.

watched it all on the travel up north and back, classic

Same.

Currently re-watching episode 7, The Breaking Point.

It's got lot's of mainstream celebs in it.

Not to say it isn't awesome though, just too depressing for me.

am going to start watching it again tonight

I watched the entire series from start to finish today, 10 hours or so.

Its fucking great.

Just watched episode 10, gonna watch episode 3 now. While I eat gone off crumpets.

Yeah ive got the box set aswell, i was just thinking about watching it again, does he ever find a luger in the end?

Who? Hoobler or Malarkey? Hoobler finds one in Bastonge (sp?) and accidently shoots himself in the leg and kills himself, and then Lipton gives the Luger to Malarkey.

oh yeah now i remember, and at the end doesnt one of the drunk american soldiers kill a british guy.

Favourite characters?

Mines probably Lip, Guarnere, Toye and Nixon.

yes, he also kills a German too, and then shoots Grant in the head, who is then treated by a German brain surgen and is saved.

As for favorite characters, Captain Spears.

I would hace said spears if he'd had more screen time in the beginning. He's easily the most hardcore guy on the show, just with very little to do until around episode 7.

Episode Two, were he jumps out of the trench and takes the last 88 by himself. But you're right, in episode seven when he relives Dyke of command and hooks up with I Company is amazing.

All he does is take the 88 though, we don't get to see much of his character at all.

Doc Roe was good too, but he appeared even less than Spears

He was featured for the entire of episode 6 but then we bearly see him in the rest of the series.

Exactly....

The camera focuses on him every now and then, and he treats a few guys in episode 4, but it really isn't enough.

Yeah, he's gotta be one of mine too actually.
When he's whole squad gets killed whilst taking that Artillery out.
I swear he's invincible..

Well, he didn't become a Lt. Conel for nothing.

great series, better than most war movies

I just watched Curahee again and realised that Simon Pegg is briefly in it.
Wow.!

You didn't know that Mr. Pegg was in it.

shame on you.

The guy that get's Hitlers photo albums was briefly in Eastenders as well......

I would of loved to see more of Shifty.
