From what I've read, this was actually watered down to make it believable. Legends. "The hand grenade scene on the snooker table has never been written down," Knight said. "I met Mike Sadler (Tom Glynn-Carney), who is the last surviving member of the original SAS. He's now 102, he was 99 when I met him, and he told me a story about him and Sterling in a bar in Paris. Somebody said, 'You can't use this table, we're using it.' And the hand grenade he used was a real hand grenade. The actual hand grenade was real. They were beyond reason. But to make it seem realistic I turned it into a dummy hand grenade."
@@FlintF Easier if you read up on the actual battle and the actual or real numbers of his fellow Marines he actually saved.. In the interview with the actors, even they said the had to lower his actual numbers otherwise the audience would have never believed it.
Stirling wasn't liked in the army, he was thought to be lazy and no respect for authority. His plan for the SAS was ignored by all so he snuck into Auchinlecks office and put the plans on his desk, rest is history.
Even though this this is supposed not to have taken place, the scene where Blair Maine takes on three Royal Military Policeman in his cell, thoughts that was pretty good 👍
En gros Sofia Boutella joue le rôle d'une agente espionne franco-algérienne qui est un personnage fictif mais représente un peu un genre de personne réelle comme la lieutenant Joséphine Baker à Casablanca (ils sont basés au Caire dans la série) avec sa clique su Deuxième Bureau des FFL (Jacques Abtey, Colonel Rémy, Paul Paillole et le Briton Biffy Dunderdale etc...). Bien pensé. Vivement la saison deux!
Though HIGHLY UNLIKELY he( Paddy ) ever did that, I have had teh urge a time or two or three in my military career to do EXACTLY that to a senior officer who thought the world spun around his "LOFTY RANK"
Paddy Maine was a psycho. An Irish rugby player and hard as nails. I didn't watch the whole series when it was on. When SAS had their first deployment In the Africa desert, they didn't have any money or much equipment. They stole what they needed from the new Zealanders when they left for a mission lol jock Lewis and paddy stole the piano lol...his raid on the airfield is legendary. Out of bullets and explosives he decided to use brute force to destroy German planes by ripping out the instrument panels.
the entire North Africa "Division" ? Claude Auchinleck was commander of middle east command, it even says it on the sign behind the guard lol thats a million men not a division of 17000 men
If this is based on the PBS documentary of the same name, the entire script from north Africa to Berlin is fully written in a book kept as it happened mission by mission in a binder written by the SAS as they happened. Names, places, events, all of it. If PBS was permitted to show it, then the series should use it. Authentic is better.
Yeeeeup that would have been him alright & infact yeeeeup it was him but the guy hitting the ground had a crown & a pip on his shoulders & that's why the bravest man in the second world war never received the Victoria Cross.
Great array of UK accents, many of which will be unintelligible to non-Brits. However, the series maintains the class hierarchy with the posh voices being those in authority. Good TV nonetheless.
As per uusal never enough credit for Ulster men like Field Marshall, Alan Brook, from Fermanagh in charge of the military ww2 and stood up to Churchill. Here we have it again. The SAS were so successful due to a ULSTER man not a English toff on crutches. Paddy maine Blair. The most decorated ever without getting a VC. Probably because he was gay, or from Ulster. As well as so talented in boxing and rugby as well as a lawyer. Far more interesting than Stirling who being English gets the Laurels for forming it, easy to a point but PADDY DID THE JOB. Many more missions he was involved with and got awards but only a fraction shown. Why ,which is not hard to answer as being not born in England. His own story should be shown as a remaracable guy and a possible gay icon,which may have lead to him no getting a deserved VC.
You are definitely right about Ulster being under appreciated by mainland Britain. Ulster men have always done their best for this country but yet have been consistently sold out by the government. However, it’s not accurate to say people from Ulster were looked down upon on account of where they came, by the English. That dynamic never existed. Truthfully, this whole separation between Scots and English people etc never existed 100 years ago. It’s only thanks to trash Hollywood films like braveheart that it’s around nowadays.
To be honest m8 i agreed with most of what you said I’m from Newtownards I’ve never heard paddy being accused of homosexuality? That’s a first. And any English commander of any major war have had nothing but praise for Irish soldiers they have played a massive part in any British war
As someone else mentioned how did you find five top moments, music was out of place and as for the secret base they we’re using with two 30ft scaffolding towers and deck chairs and not to forget two bloody great flags adorning the secret base 🤣
Jesus loves you all! Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him! Believe on His name and repent of your sins and be saved! Have an amazing day ❤️😊❤️
Absolute rubbish series totally disrespectful to the incredible men of 1 SAS several of them who I had the pleasure of meeting in the last years of their lives. Biased inaccurate and sexed up to make it appeal to current audiences - the portrayal of Paddy Mayne and even David Stirling was modern television at its worst. These were extremely brave men who did things most modern soldiers are in total awe of yet their characters were totally trivialised. I knew this series would be sensationalised when Steven Knight was appointed as director and sadly it proved to be true.
You were able to find 5 good moments? It was a trainwreck show. I couldn't find a single good thing about it. Poor acting, overdone music, abysmal storytelling, etc
Complete flop with inappropriate rock music and perpetual teenager Sofia Boutella in a far-fetched role as a ridiculous "bar spy". Which in a real bar in the USA or in England, even beer will not be poured due to her teenage appearance and teenage changing voice.
Stereotyped characters, more like caricatures, unrealistic and superficial representation of military life, a script with such perpetual profanity it sounds like it was written by a 14 year old, incongruous use of modern rock and metal music with a 1940's setting, tedious and incoherent storylines .. above all, an insult to the real men upon whom this abomination of a TV show is based. Annoyed with myself for wasting £12 on this BBC garbage .. I watched the first episode and won't be watching any more .. would rather waste my money than my time.
Dude calm down. Rogue heroes was meant to be a historical comedy, filled to the brim with dry British humour, not a historical drama/documentary. As a comedy it succeeds very well (at least in my humble opinion). Checking a genre in advance to buying could perhaps save money and disappointment in the future.
The best moment is when Paddy hunts a deer or something for the French, and Stirling is furious with Paddy and tells him because of how competitive he is, he now has to go out and hunt a bigger one for the French because he doesnt want to lose the dick measuring contest
Burma would been a nightmare..., but then again, Paddy Mayne might well have turned that one around on his own 😆
I loved Stirling's witty comment about Paddy and Burma!
From what I've read, this was actually watered down to make it believable. Legends.

Rest In Peace Mike
Much the same as Mel Gibson having to water down the true heroics of Desmond Dos in Hacksaw Ridge..
@@Cdntrvler54 Really? How? Genuinely inquiring, if you have the time.

@@Cdntrvler54 Amazing. Thanks much for your time!
Such an underrated show
underrated? seems like its rated pretty highly
Why is it the norm these days to call any good show underrated?
@@valdie91285 Because people don't know what that word means
@@ThePartisan13 actually it’s because people don’t know the show exists
@@eheeb79 I mean they do, otherwise this "limited series" wouldn't have been renewed for a second season.
this series made me an alcoholic for 3 weeks during the World Cup, thanks Paddy
just 3 weeks ??
i just loved this series..
The recruitment process scene is the best
Keeping captain in check is the best one.
I really enjoyed the show. Thank you for making it.
"...that leaves us 9 minutes to complete the dance!" Damn woman, that leave us very little time for foreplay!!!
The best bit is Sterling putting the team together.
Stirling wasn't liked in the army, he was thought to be lazy and no respect for authority. His plan for the SAS was ignored by all so he snuck into Auchinlecks office and put the plans on his desk, rest is history.
@sandersson2813 yea, getting paddy maybe outta the hole for hitting his CO lol
bring this show back!
Excellent show, a worthy successor to Band of Brothers and Generation Kill
Indeed.
It's better than those shows by far
@@britishpatriot7386 calm down lad.
The book and the documentary were better.
@BBC you need to show something like this as a trailer again! 😊
Why not a separate drama on Paddy Maine Blar.
Has all the history, the character, the awards and his own tragic death.
Lowkey, season 2 of this show could wind up being something just like that.
Mad Jack Churchill was already doing very well there on his own.
Why? It's the creation of the SAS of which Paddy was a major part of. It's not just about Paddy specifically.
Season 2 Paddy will be leading the troops
Even though this this is supposed not to have taken place, the scene where Blair Maine takes on three Royal Military Policeman in his cell, thoughts that was pretty good 👍
Sofia rocks
Stirlings airfield raid in the last episode should make this list, where they tear up the airfield with machine guns.
En gros Sofia Boutella joue le rôle d'une agente espionne franco-algérienne qui est un personnage fictif mais représente un peu un genre de personne réelle comme la lieutenant Joséphine Baker à Casablanca (ils sont basés au Caire dans la série) avec sa clique su Deuxième Bureau des FFL (Jacques Abtey, Colonel Rémy, Paul Paillole et le Briton Biffy Dunderdale etc...).

such an amazing range from his role in sex education ^^

I love the baptized part to SAS tho

Fun fact: My ancestor is in this series, I believe his last name is Evans
Hey BBC when can we see this in north America
In North America is enable to watch non-w@k3, non-e5g series for wh!t3 h3ter@s3xu4l men based on h!storical f4cts? 😂😂😂
Ajjajaaj awesome👏👏👏👏💪
the entire North Africa "Division" ? Claude Auchinleck was commander of middle east command, it even says it on the sign behind the guard lol thats a million men not a division of 17000 men
The sign does say Middle East command but it does not say it is his Middle East command
Beat me to it.
And there is no way a duty sentry would act that casual towards an officer.
You missed out the classic wheels of steel moment!

The series is based on the book by Ben Mcintyre which was then turned into a BBC Documentary.
@@TheBenj30 Don't you just love it when American's always attach their own TV network names to things that weren't even created by them.
That book is based off the SAS War Diary, which I presume to be the binder referred to, Ben McIntyre novelised it
Yeeeeup that would have been him alright & infact yeeeeup it was him but the guy hitting the ground had a crown & a pip on his shoulders & that's why the bravest man in the second world war never received the Victoria Cross.
Needs more New Zealand accents
If Blair Mayne had been American, there would have been several films about him…
1:03
Nah, still love the fuel fuckup!
In the part 5, who are the actors who are playing chess.... I haven't seen this show. Can anyone help me out?
Dónal Finn and Jack O'Connoll

To be fair, it's the Irishmen I'm having trouble understanding. The British accents, well, I like to think I understand it quite well (I'm Dutch btw)😅

David Sterling was Scottish 😉

I doubt Blair would have collected his VC...
Anymore than Bromhead did...
Him that stayed fishing
In Ireland!
It reckons itself with swearing and for some reason out of place rock music - gave up on it.
Hi, can anyone please suggest me how can I watch this show if I am not physically residing in UK ?
HBO max
@agres 2085 is that it my God the BBC is missing all of north America as viewers HBO max is a small part of America and Canada
Amazon prime with Epix free trail
Remind me again how we won the war.
As someone else mentioned how did you find five top moments, music was out of place and as for the secret base they we’re using with two 30ft scaffolding towers and deck chairs and not to forget two bloody great flags adorning the secret base 🤣
Sounds to me like sour grapes from America. Buy the SAS War diary if you can read that is.
First :)
