So what do we do if we step on a mine? Well lieutenant, the usual procedure is to jump 200ft into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area.
First season is rubbish, second is good, third is very good, and the forth is a classic.
Never owned the series on DVD so this is an easy buy considering a massive chunk of the film elements exist....
Already preordered a couple weeks ago!
Wondered why there's no thread here.
Didn't bother to create one...
