Having watched all 8 episodes of this series I am astounded that there has been no mention of it on the forum.
Was I the only one to watch it ???

It was discussed, briefly, on the CVA page on Facebook. I watched all the episodes and enjoyed them, especially the last one when one of the trainers received a rather nice gift.
I won't say what in case others haven't seen it yet. )

It was a good series. On the note of nothing being mentioned about it, I would encourage everyone to post more here on the Forum section of the CVA website, and also to use the facility of posting their own photos in the gallery which you can now do in our Holding album ! Photos and messages posted on the Facebook (social media) page will not be posted automatically onto our website and therefore into our gallery. If you want a good relevant photo placed in our gallery on the CVA website, then either use the facility of the Holding Album, the forum, or make contact via the Contact us page, and we will assist you.

To be honest, I didn't think much of the program at all. In fact I have not read or heard one positive comment, from either ex-servicemen or serving members of HM Forces, about the series.
Most thought it was an embarrassment and the RMs and ex-RMs have taken a huge amount of flack regarding their 'tough training regime'...
There was an very good documentary series about the Royal Marines a few years back - a no holds barred, warts and all program that showed the beastings etc.

Well after this less than a year ago, I am not at all surprised the content published on there was as it was:
