Three part doc. Well worth a watch. All eps available.

Remarkable in so many ways. Hopeless USA and UK political clusterfk the most obvious - but human stories the most touching.

I watched the first episode last night. Saw and heard a few things I wasn’t aware of before. Will be watching the other two episodes.

Saw it last night and the sight of seeing desperate people actually fall from skies to their inevitable deaths as they tried to cling on to planes taking off was shocking.

Can’t begin to imagine the desperation felt by those trying to flee.

We are 2 episodes in and it's riveting stuff.

The absolute outstanding quality and humanity of our troops in such difficult conditions is amazing.

Some truly eye opening and heartbreaking revelations..

Just finished watching all three episodes. The stories are very touching and the family with the little boy brought it home in episode three.

The discipline shown by our guys whilst out there was incredible. The contrasts between the different roles was interesting to see and it was eye opening as to how our RAF operates.

This has been one of the better put together documentaries and it's very cleverly shot and put together. I've learnt alot from the series and it was good to piece together footage that had circulated on the net with face to face interviews with the team that were on the ground.

If you've not watched it I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Watched ep1, strongly suspect will be a piss boiler as perhaps only closing captions about all the Afghans we pledged not to abandon, rather than doorstepping some politicians, so might not watch the rest.
