Bad Lad's Army - wonderfully non PC

[Joolstoo]

am loving this series.

No pussy footing about and saying 'excuse me sir, would you mind dusting your locker'

I would repeat what they say but am bound to get shot down .................

bovvered?

You're biased

[Bugsy2]

I love this programme. It is just amazing watching these saps with no future learn how to respect themselves and those around them. I'd be fascinated to see an ongoing study of the men/boys who have taken part in Bad Lads Army to see if a significant proportion of them have changed their lives after the programme ends.
I have no military connection either - so not biaised!!

It's great isn't it? I loved the pep talk that officer gave when they were running. They remember to give praise as well as those amazing un-pc put downs.

The chap with the trench foot in barracks.. Dry your feet properly!!

Seems to be the first time anyone has given some of them any parameters. I love the way so many eventually rise to it all positively.

[Gobbledigook]

Bugsy, no military connection here either. COnnection wtih programme makers

[Bugsy2]

Gobbledigook, do you get to go on location or on set or whatever they call it?!!!

[southeastastra]

is this about national service? my dad loved doing that. if it moves salute it, if it doesn't paint it green

[Joolstoo]

Lol! southeastastra

surely something on this basis would be good for the yoof of today?

the programme is actually very moving in parts

[Gobbledigook]

Bugsy - nooooo, I don't work on it but someone we know is a director on it.

[SpaceCadet]

ive watched every single series and think its great, they should bring back national service for young offenders imo.

[MrsBadger]

well, do pass on the fact that both DH and I love it, in a trashy-tv way, and actually cheered when we saw Cpl Nauyokas had come back for this series.

Don't particularly like they way it glamourises their past misdeeds though - all those staged car chases, violence etc.

[Gobbledigook]

I've not really watched it. She said it was a nightmare to work on - both the 'lads' and the military were, um, hard to communicate with

She's back on 'The Apprentice' in a couple of weeks!

[TinyGang]

Some of those corporals seem to have hardly any speaking voice left. Must be all the shouting.

[TambaIsBadBadBad]

I love this programme.

They should do a girls version
