Bluestone 42 captures the modern British Army in every way, the black humour, profanity, wind-ups, and day-to-day life is all spot-on.
Apart from the slightly less than realistic scenery, I can't fault Bluestone 42 - the production team have clearly done their homework pretty well and have listened to their technical advisers. There have been very few technical glitches and overall the production is very convincing.
The humour is superb, each of the four episodes so far has been equally gripping and entertaining and results in a show which I'm sure will be loved by the soldiers it portrays so well. There is so much bad comedy these days, thank goodness Bluestone 42 delivers.
I don't know if Chopendoz has even watched the same Bluestone 42 as me as his review is so far off of the mark.
Please ... ... please ... ... please BBC, commission series 2 ASAP.
Bluestone 42 is superb!
Update 24/44/2013:
It was announced at the end of Episode 8 on 23/4/2013 that a second series has been commissioned, excellent news.
