Yes, I have been watching it. It is a fascinating account about daily life on deployment in a difficult environment.
Chris Terrill is a great reporter and makes it very interesting to watch even if you are not into military generally.

What did you think of Ross Kemp in Afghanistan series? I thought was quite good too, a different style of reporting perhaps.

I enjoyed Ross Kemp i havent watched the third series yet, do you know if its as good as the first two?

it is different, Ross Kemp is filmed and reporting whilst the fighting is going on. Chris Terrill is filming the marines.

Both great

Hi Ares,

Ross Kemp - Back On the Front Line latest series.
This is just as good. It has a slightly different take, there is less fighting and shooting. I think, he got shot at a couple of times in the last 2 series. In this one, its more quiet and more stable area. In this series, the Forces are concentrating on intelligence gathering and information which is interesting. It also shows more interaction with the locals, like help building a football pitch.
I liked it and also I have a soft spot for Ross Kemp ! :lol:
