9mmx19 bbc documentry

[marktigger]

did anyone in the UK catch this programme on sunday night. i caught the end of it and it seemed interesting.

[Smintjes]

I only noticed it in the listings the day after. :cantbeli: And it seems that the SAS Survival Secrets has sneaked back onto the screen too, after they stopped airing it after the second episode. Did anyone catch it? Was it the third episode (CT and VIP close protection) or did they start at the beginning again?

It was pretty good (not a load of Anti-Gun crap in there), wasn't actually about the 9x19 per se, more about the '9mm'... Gangs etc. Nice look into the whole Beretta 'thing' (Gardone Val Trompia looks so sweet!) and the problems of criminals up-gunning and up-armouring. More of my thoughts (and others) on it here (http://forums.ukairsoft.net/showthread.php?s=6b68087e99d42843364e86efacc220e8&threadid=42393) (I'm Chubb').

But they weren't focusing on the bullet. Focus was on the whole 9mm 'thing'... Got my 9... In my belt... Bang, bang, bang!... Coppers are all dead... Woah! I'm a born Rap star!

:lol:

except fortunatly in the UK they get a converted airgun instead for over a grand then get pulled by the first traffic warden they come across rofl

Nobody seen the SAS-thingy?

[DeltaWhisky58]

Yes, I watched the SAS-thingy.

This basically followed on from the first two. Sunday's was the first half of a two parter on CP/VIP protection work, vehicle drills etc., and will go on next week to cover a kidnap situation and hostage recovery.

OK, I'm no SF expert, but it didn't seem too bad, and there's no doubting the pedigree of the two main presenters - Eddie Stone and his sidekick MacAleese - there are five more parts, Sundays 20:00 BBC2.

I'm going to give it a chance anyway.

Apparently the reason for the cut after the frist two was a problem with the production company resulting in a new deal having to be drawn up, hence the break.

[Smintjes]

VIP-protection, damn! I saw the first two episodes and really liked them. Wish the BBC had made more publicity for the return of the series.

MacAleese

he was on the 9mm proggy as well as Horsfall (i think it was him) and both were in the Iranian ebbasy seige

The 9 Milly program was good i though, those "Latin american" gang members made me laugh though

[marktigger]

YES BUT IN NORTHERN IRELAND IT WAS PULLED AND A DOCUMENTRY ON GALLIC FOOTBALL PUT ON IN ITS PLACE :(
