I have heard of this series but not watched it before. I had to smile at a few things in this particular episode.

Not a bad series. Watched a few episodes and had a few laughs. See Cpl Marsh hasn't got his 3rd stripe yet.

Great series. I watched this some time back. So much in it reminded me of my RNZAF days.

Saw It first time (only) round on NZ TV. The first series was good. A comical but fairly accurate representation of RAF CMT or whatever they called it. The second series where they all moved to RAF medical training flopped for me because it became a poorly done medical comedy. Might explain why the was no more.

I think the fact they lost Robert Lindsay from the show and substituted Karl Howman into the same character of Jakey Smith did not really work. Both were great actors and played the part well, but it would have been a better idea to have created a new character and state that Jakey had been posted elsewhere in my opinion. Great show though regardless, written by the same writer that made The Good Life, Bob Larbey and John Esmonde.

I didn't know it had been on TV here. I was working out of the country for extended periods though so any ideas when that may have been ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Some_In! |
