[@Jigaboo123456]

Paul45Commando I was a brown job, I saw this when it came out- which was after my service was over, I thought it was a great programme. Two questions, if you could answer them for me- I read in a newspaper not long after this was screened that one of these guys was jailed for bank robbery, which one was it?I had the idea it might have been the blond one who was a bit of a rebel, but who redeemed himself with a very good free -climb.The paper just reported that one was up on charges, I hope that whoever it was was found not guilty, it's more than a bit sad for any of these guys to end up in the jail.Also, by TQ do you mean a chap who does the asking during QT?Although I wore a cherry berry and another lid, I was never badgey, and I have respect for other units or individuals that deserve it, and the RM are a fine corps.

Jay Igaboo I think the lad who got jailed was the one who done the forward facing abseil somewhere on Dartmoor but i don't know what episode it was from. TQ was the CSGT who looked after the gear in the company store.

For the guys that were breaking the rules of the exercise, are they not concerned that the cadre will find out from the cameras, if not during the course then after? Couldn’t that screw them for the course? Seems a bit dangerous

Gentlemen’s rules I suspect, only counts if they have eyes on them from the cadre as the crew doesn’t exist for the purposes of the exercise. Could be wrong, but seems that way.

Why do they sound unlike any other British people I've heard? Their accent seems different. (I'm American)

[@berlinocelot]

They're regional accents. I can hear Outer Hebrides, Scottish, Yorkshire, West Country and the Midlands. They can all sound very different. Good question though.

[@simonyip5978]

Brian Gough a lot of Americans think that there is a standard 'British' accent, but 90% of the UK speak with a local county/regional accent. People from Yorkshire sound different to people from Cornwall, London people sound different to Birmingham people, western Scotland, Scottish Lowlands, the Highlands, NE England, Ulster, Merseyside, Manchester, East Midlands and West Midlands, North and South Wales, SW England, the Home Counties (the region around London), etc all have a specific accent. Even in some counties there can be several different accents (for example, Yorkshire has West, South and North and East Yorkshire versions of the Yorkshire accent even though the distance between the different parts of Yorkshire is no more than 50-75-100 km at the most).
