So much to say. Paras are very good as a whole and the jock guards are good considering they have to do public duties too. My brother was 3 para and I ended up an Irish guard and I wonder who was the better. Well, regardless of what rank we ended up we served our country and were proud. He may have only served the minimum and I 23yrs makes no matter we did our bit. Along with 6 brothers in my family in various regimen’s and a farther in the RAF during WII. a mother a 4 sisters helped us along the way with their support and Irish women’s fearsome drive behind their family. Our family are proud of our military heritage, indeed our greater family on all sides fighting all nations if you know what I mean. It’s a pity our nation has no concept of that anymore and states they would not take up arms. Little do they know an enemy would treat them the very same way they have with the Ukrainians. Murdered, graped, robbed, and everything destroyed. Do they really think they will be treated well? Idiots!
I don’t know what it’s like to be graped might be fun?😂 I think seriously though you’re living in a bygone era?

However we hear Ant Middleton go on about how much more mature booties are next to paras. I would love to see a head to head competition between these two great organisations.
@@JimmyC9049 What second competition are you imagining? Para Regt was excluded from the next competition which was "Combat 90". The format was changed to consist of 4 teams of line infantry regiments representing Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. Each team also had a token female. ua-cam.com/video/MeHZ5qVc4fM/v-deo.html The Guardsmen who pass the All Arms P Coy to join the Para Regt, both now and in the days of the Guards Ind Coy, wore/wear the Para Regt badge and are part of Para Regt. Today they wear the Household Div backing behind the badge - more Guards BS than anything else: soldiers from other parent regiments have no reference to their previous regiments.
says and shows. If your not Airborne you are a hat. Brilliant example of proper soldiers vs parade ground soldiers. Best quote. Im only the ptl cmdr. I remeber in NI. in a tower in a camp on covert ops. we had all comms. Scots Guards had just taken over from 3 Para. Who sadly had just lost a couple of lads drowned and anther lost his legs on a pressure plate. end of tour typical IRA. I hear RAF heli pilot on net. Where the F are you ! im hovering over your grid ref and your not there. therefore f you im orrrrffff.. Split my side laughing.
What on earth are you taking about? Parade soldiers? The jock guards have literally fought in every war the new model army has ever had. And with distinction. They’ve also caught in every war the parachute regiment has. Paras are a class regiment. But let’s not pretend other regiments aren’t eh?
As a non binari woman of colour…I find this offensive… not a single person of colour..not a single differently abled person, I also find the term Scot’s offensive..and as for paras.. none are in wheel chairs!

Good. Never asked for, never wanted, imposed without a democratic mandate by politiicans who were supposed to serve the interests of the English, Welsh, Scots and N.Irish - and didn't.
You clearly didn't serve in the Army in the 80's. It was diverse and is more diverse now. You are also unaware of the population demographic of Scotland 😂 The show was diverse it had English and Scottish people in it.
You're quite right. Rumour is that ITV are bringing back the show next year: "Combat 2025". Each team shall consist of: 1) A person of dark racial complexion who does not speak English - Team Leader. 2) One person with severe learning disabilities (no problem, there are many in the line infantry). 3) One person of pension age driving a wheelchair. 4) One transitioning transgender person.
These may be good but so are the rest. Fusiliers, guards, light infantry all good capable regiments and proven warriors. They all do the same training except the emphasis in the paras and marines is more physical in basic training. Once in battalion the promotion courses are the same. 😊
@@kevinadamson5768 If only the strategic leadership lived up to the quality of its soldiers. Unfortunately, British General Staff/staff officers fail to learn the lessons from previous campaigns often decades apart. You should read High Command in relation to AFG and IRQ, Elliott clearly states "British military campaigns in both Afghanistan and Iraq lacked four key requirements: 1 - ‘sustained direction from top political leadership’, which included five Defence Ministers between 2000-2010 consistent or clear strategic vision, operational foresight, judgements or guidance from the MoD combined with ‘a lack of understanding of the complexities of local situations’ in Iraq or Afghanistan’ 2 - a ‘whole-of-government approach’, including comprehensive ‘economic, judicial, educational and policing’ capabilities enabled to exploit operational success through taking advantage of security conditions created by the military 3 - sufficient deployed armed forces capable of adapting and surging to defeat unexpected enemy actions, including through the accelerated deployment of reinforcements or mine resistant vehicles. 4 - Lack of available reinforcing troops meant the ‘UK became ‘fixed’ in both Basra and Helmand… and were devoid of resources to take the initiative’. (Elliott, 2015) The General staff are meant to advise government and have appropriate planning and resources in place. The incompetence is no different from WWII. Until this is resolved by better officer training, the same mistake will keep getting made.
@@kevinadamson5768 Dream on. Keep believing this BS as many craphats choose to - whilst not knowing any better. Paras and Commandos do a great deal more than line infantry, as recruits then once in role. They have a genuine selection process to weed out the mediocre. Line infantry is okay, but not beyond line infantry work. Not a touch on Paras or Bootnecks, be it by selection, training or track record.
This would be impossible today…. 3 men and the officers dog would be all they could scrape up, as for the H&S aspects, the officials would drop dead of a coronary just reading what they plan to do, let alone how they actually go about doing it. As much as I love the army, today there would be too many folks saying “oh, you cant do that, have to do it this way”.. would need a 3 week fam course just to get into the LR, and another 3 for the boat..
Those were the days. No bs PC crap, DPM's, and not long after the worst weapon system in history was issued, the SA80 (I imagine A1? ). This is a little unfair though, a hat unit up against the maroon machine?? Pfff.....When I saw this I had to laugh. The Scots didn't stand a chance lol.
Old crispy face Simon, Weston was never in combat? He was burnt when his ship was attacked! He never fired a shot in anger and now he’s some kind of hero?

However we hear Ant Middleton go on about how much more mature booties are next to paras. I would love to see a head to head competition between these two great organisations.
@@JimmyC9049 What second competition are you imagining?
Para Regt was excluded from the next competition which was "Combat 90". The format was changed to consist of 4 teams of line infantry regiments representing Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. Each team also had a token female.

The Guardsmen who pass the All Arms P Coy to join the Para Regt, both now and in the days of the Guards Ind Coy, wore/wear the Para Regt badge and are part of Para Regt. Today they wear the Household Div backing behind the badge - more Guards BS than anything else: soldiers from other parent regiments have no reference to their previous regiments.
Goodlookin reporter
Brilliant
Them landrovers were absolutely shit!! All I’ve seen is these guys constantly loose control of them to the point they nearly killed themselves 👎
Come on the fkn Reg!
proper tv
Saturday evening TV done right
I served in the paras
says and shows. If your not Airborne you are a hat. Brilliant example of proper soldiers vs parade ground soldiers. Best quote. Im only the ptl cmdr.
I remeber in NI. in a tower in a camp on covert ops. we had all comms.
Scots Guards had just taken over from 3 Para. Who sadly had just lost a couple of lads drowned and anther lost his legs on a pressure plate. end of tour typical IRA.
I hear RAF heli pilot on net. Where the F are you ! im hovering over your grid ref and your not there. therefore f you im orrrrffff.. Split my side laughing.
What on earth are you taking about? Parade soldiers? The jock guards have literally fought in every war the new model army has ever had. And with distinction. They’ve also caught in every war the parachute regiment has. Paras are a class regiment. But let’s not pretend other regiments aren’t eh?
@@youyou3671I have to agree with you mate but I'm ex jock guards. Nemo me Im pune laccesit. 😊
@@youyou3671he's obviously biased. You have to be brain damaged to want to jump out of a plane with full kit, or suicidal. 😅
Don’t make anything like this anymore 💪
The woman is hot greetings from germany😊
The kit back then was so crap! Unlike today, way much better, its advised to wear gloves in the field on Exercise and Ops now,
What pisses me off is that they call this kit, which was the latest Gucci stuff in my day, as "vintage" on eBay...
Imagine that today. They'd have full rollcages, crash helmets, race suits, 5point harnesses.
As a non binari woman of colour…I find this offensive… not a single person of colour..not a single differently abled person, I also find the term Scot’s offensive..and as for paras.. none are in wheel chairs!
Or homosexuals
I know, the lack of gender independence and fluidity is appalling.
I'll ask them to do blackface for you if that helps?
@@leemuir2514 Only if they wear a full SS uniform.
It should of been paras & the marines
It was open to loads of regiments, this was the final, did you not watch the other shows.?
@kevinadamson5768 time that was made I was in the paras never heard of the program till I seen it on here
@@jimmyoconnell6167 I remember this particular episode cos I was in a police station in NI and watched it with lads from kosb who were taking over from us.
@@kevinadamson5768 I left in 1993 after 14 yrs due to injury on my left knee
@@jimmyoconnell6167 did you that's hard luck, did you get a pension?
Nice to see the SBS rigid raider MK2 from BAe made with ballistic material against small arms...
I know the director
Ted childs?
No, Dennis Liddington, so he may have produced it, I'll ask him when I next see him.
I spoke to Ted childs to see if there was any way to get the whole series again ,he didn't think it likely
@@leemuir2514 I'll ask if Dennis has anything but I think it unlikely but no harm in asking. I didn't see the series, Dennis has said to me in the past that it was a recruitment drive really, he had unprecedented access. He produced/directed, some of Bullseye, Family Fortunes, Price is Right etc and Sunday Night at the London Palladium, so interesting.
Typical grunts ..can't drive for toffee
Shame they only did 2 seasons of this, and the second season wasnt anywhere near as good as the first one.
Yeah combat 90 was nowhere near as good for sure
Combat 90 reminded me of "It's A Knockout".
But was nowhere as good as that...

Light work for the Scots.
2 Para Rules Airborne Initiative from the start
Complete lack of diversity on this show.
Good. Never asked for, never wanted, imposed without a democratic mandate by politiicans who were supposed to serve the interests of the English, Welsh, Scots and N.Irish - and didn't.
Oh no!
You clearly didn't serve in the Army in the 80's. It was diverse and is more diverse now.
You are also unaware of the population demographic of Scotland 😂
The show was diverse it had English and Scottish people in it.
You're quite right. Rumour is that ITV are bringing back the show next year: "Combat 2025".
Each team shall consist of:
1) A person of dark racial complexion who does not speak English - Team Leader.
2) One person with severe learning disabilities (no problem, there are many in the line infantry).
3) One person of pension age driving a wheelchair.
4) One transitioning transgender person.
Crap hats
When the UK had a credible Defence force
Pong- go’s!! 💩💩😂🤣🤣
It’s all very dramatic for no reason at all ….. Tiochaid ar lá !

The Paras, Royal Marines and the Gurkhas, best regiments in the British Army more so because your accent is irrelevant.
These may be good but so are the rest. Fusiliers, guards, light infantry all good capable regiments and proven warriors. They all do the same training except the emphasis in the paras and marines is more physical in basic training. Once in battalion the promotion courses are the same. 😊
@@kevinadamson5768 If only the strategic leadership lived up to the quality of its soldiers. Unfortunately, British General Staff/staff officers fail to learn the lessons from previous campaigns often decades apart. You should read High Command in relation to AFG and IRQ, Elliott clearly states "British military campaigns in both Afghanistan and Iraq lacked four key requirements: 1 - ‘sustained direction from top political leadership’, which included five Defence Ministers between 2000-2010 consistent or clear strategic vision, operational foresight, judgements or guidance from the MoD combined with ‘a lack of understanding of the complexities of local situations’ in Iraq or Afghanistan’ 2 - a ‘whole-of-government approach’, including comprehensive ‘economic, judicial, educational and policing’ capabilities enabled to exploit operational success through taking advantage of security conditions created by the military 3 - sufficient deployed armed forces capable of adapting and surging to defeat unexpected enemy actions, including through the accelerated deployment of reinforcements or mine resistant vehicles. 4 - Lack of available reinforcing troops meant the ‘UK became ‘fixed’ in both Basra and Helmand… and were devoid of resources to take the initiative’. (Elliott, 2015) The General staff are meant to advise government and have appropriate planning and resources in place. The incompetence is no different from WWII. Until this is resolved by better officer training, the same mistake will keep getting made.
@@kevinadamson5768 Dream on. Keep believing this BS as many craphats choose to - whilst not knowing any better.
Paras and Commandos do a great deal more than line infantry, as recruits then once in role. They have a genuine selection process to weed out the mediocre.
Line infantry is okay, but not beyond line infantry work. Not a touch on Paras or Bootnecks, be it by selection, training or track record.
Paras are very overated these days. Not the brightest of the infantry.
The Hardest though! I do respect the County Regiments. I would have opted for the Rifles.
We found the salty crap hat.

@@FHIPrincePeter you don't understand how youtube comments work.
This would be impossible today…. 3 men and the officers dog would be all they could scrape up, as for the H&S aspects, the officials would drop dead of a coronary just reading what they plan to do, let alone how they actually go about doing it.
As much as I love the army, today there would be too many folks saying “oh, you cant do that, have to do it this way”.. would need a 3 week fam course just to get into the LR, and another 3 for the boat..
Those were the days. No bs PC crap, DPM's, and not long after the worst weapon system in history was issued, the SA80 (I imagine A1? ). This is a little unfair though, a hat unit up against the maroon machine?? Pfff.....When I saw this I had to laugh. The Scots didn't stand a chance lol.
And you served sas did you 😂😂😂
Old crispy face Simon, Weston was never in combat? He was burnt when his ship was attacked! He never fired a shot in anger and now he’s some kind of hero?
