Thanks for pointing it out Frank, - I will record it & watch later.

I agree, - J.C. is like marmite... & I incline to the latter point of view... ;) But the subject matter is an important one & so I will set all that aside.

Romilly. :)

I agree he is an acquired taste. But as far as the armed forces are concerned he does have a genuine respect for what they did, and you will not find him playing it for cheap laughs.

That's very true, I can't remember the other programme I watched him do about the armed forces, but he was very good.
I'll definitely be recording it.

Hi,

I think Clarkson's other one was about the raid on St Nazaire Frank. I'll probably watch this one too!

Kind regards

Hi, Just watched the repeat, I was right, well worth watching.
I thought it was put together well and as previously said, Jeremy Clarkson has nothing but respect for the Armed Forces, a tragic event which could easily have been avoided.
