    You must have seen band of brothers?

    One of my top two series ever. I read the book a few years before the show came out and the show really did it justice.

    I also read Major Winters autobiography a while back.
    It's brilliant. Film work, casting, subject matter.

    What's the other series elbow?

    I've never watched The Pacific series made by the same people.
    The West Wing. Completely different kind of programme, but also amazingly written and acted.

    There is a definite "look were they are now" element to cast. Many of them were unknown and went on to great things.

    Many US viewers didn't realise that Damien Lewis wasn't a yank.

    I watched a few episodes of The Pacific, but it didn't take.

    Best thing about the pacific was how well it gave the idea that it was a very different theatre of war to Europe. Both were amazing series!

    And 💯 agree on the west wing too

    West Wing is utterly and totally brilliant. A staple favourite over the decades.

    If any Bracketeers haven't seen it yet they need to.

    Genuinely tricky decision about who to support there. A bit like Germany playing Argentina in the footy :)

    It f*cking wet and it f*cking windy.

    I did pedal when it was just windy.

    Why exactly do I have to get outside 'Loon?

    My sister had the complete box set of it on DVD (along with piles of other TV series), which I inherited. Gave it away unopened to a friend. :)

    Seriously, there are very few topics I find less interesting than politics.
