Old BBC Documentary; The Paras

[Spunyarn]

The whole series has been knocking around on youtube for a few years, in ten minute parts.
I've just noticed that the series is available on bbc iplayer.

Might be interesting for any of the old and bold who remember it back in the day, or an eye opener for how things used to be done. Although I dare say not much has changed.

Was this the series where in one episode an old lady's cat was missing, and one of the soldiers was wearing a fur hat. ?

This was the series that set the idea to join in my head, my dad had it on tape, I used to watch it A LOT! hahaha I even had flashbacks when we started milling though that may have been just stars and something to do with being paired with a mahoosive Canadian bloke
