It's not exactly "Haggiscentric" comedy, is it?
Not at all, and it addresses the current situation in the modern British military very well, I love Gary's misunderstandings of the political implications of his experiences in Iraq and also the sly digs at commanding officers, government cutbacks etc, etc. Also the messing about by the soldiers and the banter seems very realistic (with the proviso that it's been watered down for a TV audience) from my limited experience.
I'd love to know what people in the army or the other services think of it.
