Thanks. A family friend's son completed his RM training a couple of months ago. I wonder if he'll be in this.

What side? I'm ex-RN and know a few ex-Marines. Would be interested to see what they go through.

Did the assault course back in the 70s as a CCF. Will look forward to see if it's changed up on Woodbury comon.

Not a lot I would think. My parents live in Woodbury (much to my amusement watching The Walking Dead)

They've had a couple of serious gorse fires (one caused by a model aircraft crash), but the stuff soon grows back.

They had to take water from the lake at Woodbury Golf Course, which was then owned by Nigel Mansel.

Some predictions:

- someone will get called "fella" within a minute of the show starting
- someone on this thread will mention duvets
- there will be lots of nudity
