want to watch a good drama about iraq war?

well there is a new drama about the iraq war on the bbc at the moment and the first episode is available on bbc iplayer ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ion_Episode_1/ ) the next episode is on in one hour from now on bbc 1 or 2 can't remember but it looks like it will be good i suggest you get up to speed otherwise you will be a bit clueless on whats happening and why.

I am currently watching "Ross Kemp: Return to Afghanistan" and "Ross Kemp: In Search of Pirates". Both highly recommended.

Re: want to watch a good drama about iraq war?

didn't realize that, i just finished watching the second in the series of three and was really good, the third is on tomorrow at 9pm (GMT). There are some programs on the internet to get around these things for instance i use hotspot shield to watch some videos only available in America. I'm sure in the coming days or weeks that it will be uploaded on youtube or on another site as it is downloadable from iplayer.

EDIT: here is a trailer for the series so you get a feeling for the program:
