THE PARAS BBC EPISODE 2 PART 4

[SSCFPA]

There have been many docs about military life since this was transmitted in 1983. Some excellent, many good, plenty indifferent.

None though has been as good as The Paras.

Perhaps because it was then a rare genre. Also though it's just so bloody good, enjoyable, gripping and memorable.

[LMG719Enterprise]

We all need a Sargent Riley!

[airsoftjunkie2]

"I wanted to fly and jump out the sky sir" hahahaha oh bless him

[tomandsamuel]

Who's the officer on parade doing the inspecting? Is it that Max Gandell bloke?

[mangore623]

Sgt. Reily is a fucking riot!

[mark24875218]

Happy Days. Miss the lads !!

[Bleakunending]

get tight! get tight! get tight! get!

[THEMATTBUXTON]

That Sgt. Reily seems like such a nice fella!

[jackiebaron]

Thank christ I was born with a brain and the balls to have my own opinion. These fuckers are complete and utter morons. Their life is so unimportant to them or anyone else that they just do moronic exercises and other crap that they're ordered to do. Fascinating.

[MrGoblin60]

@jackiebaron I understand what you're saying however life in the Army depends on instant and unquestioning obedience to orders. Being able to perform certain tasks without thinking can mean the difference between life and death in warlike circumstances. The type of fellow who joins a unit like the Paras tends to like a good punch up but they're not all thick heads - just born to do a particular type of job.

@jackiebaron PATHETIC CHILD , I WOULD BE AMAZED IF YOU HAD THE IQ TO BREATH BY YOURSELF , YOUR NOT FIT TO CLEAN THESE LADS BOOTS !

[dave2806]

@jackiebaron PLUS A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER CAUSE THESE BOYS KICKED YOUR ARSE IN THE FAULKLANDS !

[Bleakunending]

@jackiebaron here's to hoping you experience war soon.

[elliotts4]

Para's don't drill! They kill!

[NonLocalYokel]

'A very quiet IRA terrorist tryiing to slip a bomb through the door'?!...I am pretty sure they wouldn't try to do it like that sir, it's normally a car bomb or something. He's been watching to much Pink Panther, where the guy answers the door and gets given a comedy bomb with a sparkling fuse and 'bomb' written on it. 'what type of bomb?'....'the exploding type!'
