Some women take part, even though it is pointed out that no special forces

Although this did get me wondering if any of the world's Police armed
Response units use female officers ?
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
The Met has loads of females running around with guns in the armed response units , diplomatic protection group etc. If you watch the Lee Rigby footage there was a couple of female response officers there. No discrimination. ... :v
I'm really enjoying 'Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week'. Really interesting to see which characters survive and very interesting to see them do great one day and atrocious the next!
Still laugh overtime Freddie Flintoff describes himself as an elite athlete at the beginning. He played cricket for goodness sake. I'd have been more impressed if he was doing it with them

I have earlier mentioned that Norway has trained their first fermale special forces soldiers this year. What I didn't know then was that the US have some (Cultural Support Teams) and two women graduated from Army Ranger School this year. In Britain there are female operators in the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. There are also women in several Israeli special forces units. There are also a few women in South Korean special forces units and probably a few other countries around the world.

Hmmm--I may have seen that on Netflix as "An Honest Liar." Whether it's the same show or not, the subject is fascinating!

Late to the party for the American TV show 'Blacklist,' but my girlfriend and I are enjoying this one very much. James Spader is clearly having a ball.

It looks like the same program...it really does make you wonder how people still believe this claptrap...I'd love to meet James Randi...he seems an incredible individual... -{
Note to self, if I'm ever on the run... DON'T call anyone! Or withdraw any money from an ATM! Also, avoid public transport...
Some of these people on the show are doing my head in.. I mean, if you've signed up to be a 'fugitive' - surely you would keep radio silence... but no. Idiots!
Watched 'Going Clear - a prison of belief' last night on Sky Atlantic. I have a strange obsession with Scientology... and I've watched most shows that talk about this cult. Interesting stuff... and just proves what a controlling, idiotic and unbelievable 'religion' this is.... fascinating stuff as told by former members!
Also, if anyone is interested... the show that Charmed & Dangerous and I talked about... The Jinx: The life and times of Robert Durst - is being repeated on Sky Atlantic - starting Monday 28th Sept, at 9.00pm. It really is worth a watch. Stick with it, as the first 2 episodes are a bit gory, but it calms down and it really is a story of note.

We have the classic film,The Towering Inferno ,on today starring probably the worlds 2 most beautiful men (I know that sounds a bit gay) but hey who cares ,Newman and Mcqueen ,plus the man from UNCLEs very own Robert Vaughan ,it cant get any better
I saw the first season of Gotham. The series is very well made, but it's strength is also its weaknes. The series takes place just after Bruce Wayne's parents are killed and the future Batman's enemies and allies are emerging. The young Catwoman, Falcone, commisioner Gordon, The Penguin and many others are interesting, but THEY CAN'T DIE in this series since they will be around when Wayne becomes an adult. As a result the story seems like an eteral fight where no-one dies or truly looses-
Did anyone see Clarkson on 'Have I Got News For You?' last night?
I thought he'd have had a much harder time than he did.
Well, Osman made a **** of himself by pretty much continuously flogging essentially the same joke.
Yep, Dick, we all know the moral reason the Beeb sacked Clarkson (even though, oddly, it doesn't stop them showing TOP GEAR repeats on Beebs 2 & 3...), we get that Clarkson's come out of it quids in. We now also know that's you're riddled with jealousy.
But , Dick, you are still very well employed by the Beeb.
I like Richard Osman but I thought he was a bit ridiculous and repetitive.
I follow him on Twitter and before the show aired he said they had had a blast filming but he had no idea what would be in the final edit. Another person (who I got the impression was at the filming) then said that the edit made him look 'catty' so maybe it was just poorly put together.
Still, Clarkson is big boy and I'm sure he expected a much harder time than he got.

Heard this on the radio today, Hart to Hart is being remade,
This time as a gay couple.

Paul Newman was beautiful. Never saw the attraction with McQueen though.
Was the first time two of the big studios made a film together.
Blimey, Sean Bean is good... shame he's such a w*nker in real life... I think this is going to be a good series.
LEGENDS is cracking stuff, wonderfully carried by Bean. Highlight of last autumn, along with THE MISSING. Looking forward to series two of both.
But if I gave a damn what actors were like in real life, I'd never watch a thing
The Missing was excellent! Probably the best drama on TV since the first couple of series of Spooks.
Be interesting to see what they do for the second one.
show. It's like Midsommer Murders in the Caribbean.
so Top Gear for the entire day - wife couldn't be more annoyed
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
