I think he was just a lad a bit soft in the head who likes to think he's Dexter, but the hands over the ears showed he wasn't Dexter...I think.
no. 14, did the SAS men want him to quit? After drilling it into them they shouldn't quit?
I thought they were unfair on 14. Quitting was a terminal option. To force him into it - or try to. Didn't sit well with me.no. 14, did the SAS men want him to quit? After drilling it into them they shouldn't quit?
Granted he could be binned for not being fast enough or whatever, but I didn't like how it happened.

I was confused, at the beardy ones attitude pushing him after he took the band off him, they smash it into them not to quit, and then say quit but then they really want him to quit.Granted he could be binned for not being fast enough or whatever, but I didn't like how it happened.
I felt for him.

Yep- and in the first episode when that guy forgot his cap they punished the rest- the message was they are a unit, a team, and responsibility is shared, but here he was forced to quit.I felt for him.
While I like the show i think they have basically lost track of what they are trying to show / portray. All the messages are confused.
Also - more of them finishing interrogation stage - I guess because having seen the first two series they know it will end after x amount of hours and there is only so much the interrogators can do to them. Before then the mental challenge seemed to be not knowing when it would end. How do they contend with that for series 4

All of his team members were telling him to go before he was stripped of his band.
Yet at other times they all get punished for one persons mistake, and understand it could happen to any of them. If the other team members were struggling that much, then maybe they should've quit.I felt bad for him, glad he held on til he was told to go, rather than quit.
Went to 'An Evening with Ant Middleton' last night in Leeds. Having not been to one of these things before, I didn't know what to expect. He's still bound by the Secrets Act, so it's mainly about the shows than life in the Special Forces itself - first half mainly about SAS Who Dares Wins, second half mainly about Mutiny.
I enjoyed it. Funnier than expected, although there were parts he could have been seen as coming across as a bit arrogant. If you like the show, and he's local to you then I'd recommend going.
He's set to climb Everest the week after his tour finishes for his next Channel 4 show, which will be interesting.

Pedantic I know, but everyone is bound by the Official Secrets Act. Being in the forces means you just sign a bit of paper confirming that you understand your responsibilities under the act. I get what you mean though, just because he's left it doesn't mean he can go into intimate detail about any operations.I enjoyed it.

I really enjoy this. Women too this time around which will be interesting, it's always been more of a mental game.
Are any of the instructors actually ex-SAS now or are they all SBS, could do with a title refresh.
Billy is defo 22 SAS. Ant and Foxy are SBS. Not sure about Ollie. Think more people have heard of the SAS.Are any of the instructors actually ex-SAS now or are they all SBS, could do with a title refresh.
I love this programme too. Would love to have the balls to enter it too.
