Warship (1973–1977)
10/10
Fantastic Cold-War era naval drama
19 December 2016
Series 1 & 2 of Warship bring back great memories of my teenage years and good old fashioned high quality TV - something we seem to have lost along the way.

I have just received an e-mail reply from SimplyMedia, the DVD company for Warship and I'm delighted to share the news that Series 3 will be released on 3 April 2017 and Series 4 on 25 September 2017.

Considering the low-tech approach to TV production in the 1970s, series such as Warship manage to convey a realistic feeling of being on board HMS Hero that modern production methods just don't manage.

Really looking forward to Series 3 & 4.

Bluestone 42 (2013–2015)
10/10
Superb military-themed comedy
29 March 2013
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.
