"Ross Kemp was asked to resign(as university of glasgow rector) by the SRC (which he did) for what they felt was a failure to act as a working rector."
the bald twit didnt even turn up for the start of term address to the new students. The man is a waste of space and a crappy actor.

I most certainly will. Unfortunately, so did the Taliban.

Th program was really good and is shaping up to be anothe success. Wouldnt be surprised to see Kemp pick up MORE BAFTAs when these come around again.

It was sobering to see that one of the soldiers (a Sgt) that they spent a lot of time with, including some moving scenes with his wife before the deployment, become one of the first casualties.

The first exposure that Kemp got on the ground to Afgahnistan was the the military send off for a young Lance Corporal, killed days before. it was surprisingly moving and also quite sobering.

It was also interesting to see the boy soldier that was all 'fingers and thumbs' during training in the UK coming home on R&R 2 months after deployment. Kemp said the lad (18 yrs old) looked like he had aged 10 years.

Kemp was obviosuly scared in places, and this was before being sent forward to the real front line. The show seems to show how it is on the ground, and Kemp will be in hte thick of it.

I think it will turn out to be an award winning show. That people on here dont like Kemp shouldnt put them off the factthat its actually about the young soldiers that we are sending to one of the worst wars we have fought for years. Real up close and personal warfare against an enemy that believes they are going to paradise.

Excellent programme, Kemp comes across as a very decent and genuine bloke.

Likewise. No doubt it'll turn up on Dave at some point.

Kemp on Gangs was a good series as well.
He must be paid very well to go to some of the places he's been to!!

A friend of a friend was in a restaraunt the other week (entertaining clients) when Ross Kemp came over to him, grabbed him on the shoulders and shouted "sit up straight" and walked off. He and his clients found it highly amusing..........the first time.

On the third passing, apparently, this chap told Ross Kemp "Look, I'm having a meal with some very important clients, so will you please just f*ck off"

I said I can't believe he told Grant Mitchell to eff off! amazing, but i've been reassured, he is exactly the type of person who would do that.

Anywho, I liked the gangs thing he did.

Seems a bit of a Walter Mitty character - what with that SAS programme etc.

Why didn't he just join up for real ?

I agree with the comments made by Tony*T3 The programme was very good and is shaping up to be a good series.

I don't really like Ross Kemp very much but I liked the content of the "On Gangs" series and this Afghanistan series seems to have been put together very well with some very thought provoking content.

I hear that he likes "soldiers". Allegedly. I heard that was (allegedly) why the wife hit him and left him.
