Yep. Really looking forward to this. Rather than a "moan fest" I'd genuinely be interested in the observations of any of our ex-RN contributors. Always interested in how the other Services (i.e. not Army) operate and love all the jargon (as in Line of Duty!). Modern slang is also of interest, so that I can confuse what remain of my mates by using phrases that didn't exist 40 years back! Should be a great TV series, with some terrific acting talent on show.

Saw an advert for this at the weekend - looking forward to it, it certainly seems to have a strong cast.

My recording device currently only goes up to the 24th. Can you remind us all again on Sunday please?

Bizarrely ITV have jumped onboard Submarines too with their new submarine drama due in the Autumn called Tenacity,

Surely the ending of Line of Duty can't be worse than the first 30 minutes of the first episode?

Any other recommendations in this genre? Need some new series to watch.

True and contentious story Deceit on C4 with the brilliantly wonderful Niamh Algar.

Excellently written, and a great performance from the lady who was also magnificent in unmissable The Virtues and Calm With Horses.

I had the choice of being either a Stoker[emoji2959], WEM or an AEM. The deciding factor was that subs didn’t have flight decks. It was a very easy decision. I can’t think of anything worse … other than being a crusher[emoji2959]

to be honest Deportivo, i never normally agree with a 'woo' but on this occasion i have to whole-heartedly agree. never a reggie at whatever costs.

They don’t call them Regulators any more. Apparently they are now more professional which to be honest is it difficult.

I only ever met one reggie who I had any time for and he wasn’t a real reggie. A very old and salty Chief Coxswain whose beard would put captain Birdeyes to shame. Lovely guy who could have trooped me for being 1) pissed 2) unconscious next to Victory 3) covered in puke but decided to wake a couple of lads up with ‘look after him’. I turned to the next day with a biblical hangover and reported to him. He simply said’ try not to collapse in the dockyard next time and btw, here’s you wallet and ID card’ which I’d dropped. That would have been the grand slam for any reggie and he simply ignored it. I did however buy him a shed load of beer.

Different writer (Tom Edge), but the same production company as Line of Duty and The Bodyguard which were written by Jed Mercurio.
