SAS: ROGUE HEROES
SEASON 2 ADS GWILYM LEE, MARK ROWLEY AND OTHERS
A bunch of our favourite period set genre actors have been added to BBC and MGM+ hit series SAS: ROGUE HEROES on the origins of the famous Special Forces unit.
Second season is set in spring, 1943. With David Stirling
(Connor Swindells) captured and Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) now in charge of the SAS, their attention must turn from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe. But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment, while the creation of a new unit and a surprise arrival make things even more difficult for the men. Can they prove that the SAS remains essential to the war, wherever it may lead them? With Dominic West, Stuart Campbell and rest of the cast returning from the first season, they will be joined by our dearest boys Gwilym Lee as Bill Stirling, David Stirling’s brother and founder of the 2SAS regiment, and Con O’Neill as General Montgomery. They will serve alongside new recruits Mark Rowley and Jack
Barton, who will play SAS members Jock McDiarmid and John Tonkin respectively.
Further new cast members for series two include Paolo De Vita, Anna Manuelli, Edward Bennett and Matteo Franco.

Any news on Jason Isaac's miniseries on Cary Grant? Has the project been cancelled?
ReplyDeleteNo news, but I don't think it has been cancelled. It is on Sky if I remember well and Sky is terrible in marketing, I still haven't got any memo from them on Domina season 2, whether it is finished or is still shooting.
DeleteI have watched a few series and films starring Jason Isaacs, but I only remember him in Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteI've recently read an interview with him where he admits taking drugs for many years... would never peg him for a junkie...
DeleteI haven't heard of the book about The Boy At The Back Of The Class, but that one might be fun. Sounds like a 9 year old Allison could have been Alexa. She was always paired with kids that were special needs, handicapped or foreign because she could connect with them much better than the teachers and aids could. I could totally see her going on a grand adventure that would lead her to Buckingham Palace as a 9 year old as long as she thought she was helping someone LOL
ReplyDeleteThe only sad thing is that I am no longer sure we have emphatic kids anymore. They are desensitized and lacking in care and unselfishness these days. We had a kid kill ten of his fellow pupils and the school guard in a Belgrade primary school two weeks ago, a shock unheard of in our history, and just a day or two later a dozen of other schools had reported of kids bringing plastic guns to school to joke about the case or threatening to kill their friends in the classroom thinking that is funny to say. We've arrested all of their parents, but we are generally doomed. about 50,000 people went out to the streets last night to protest about it and about the government, and the lack of morals in the society and especially TV channels and papers.
DeleteWe do have empathetic kids, but sadly those kids are labeled weird and outcast. Bullies are on the rise though. Mental health needs are not being addressed. Access to online and social media are playing a huge role in the decline of society. These babies all want to be internet famous and they don't care how they do it. We've become a look at me society, but as they say, comparison is the thief of joy. When one can't achieve the same amount of online success or have the same amount of followers or likes as someone else, it's a hit to their emotional well being. What do they do? Act out. We have idiots who would rather record a problem instead of stepping in to help because they want to go viral. It's such a shame what we've done to ourselves.
DeleteI did see the news about the Belgrade shooting and thought if it's hitting Dezzy's country, nobody is safe anymore. It's not a shock to hear about mass shootings in the USA anymore, but when you hear of one in a place like Serbia, you do pause for a minute and think dafuq is going on anymore? Sadly, I think this is only the beginning of a global issue. I don't know what the solution is, but something has to change.
For us here it was the culmination of our dictator's rule of organised crime. Since he wants people to accept crime and immoral behaviour as new regular he allows for one of the biggest broadcasters to air a reality programme with real criminals and whores, and this season with a convicted murderer. Kids watch it all day long, the horrible violence in it, disgusting language they use and it led to violence pouring over to schools and real life. When their idol is a convicted murderer beside other thiefs, mobsters and whores, they lose all possible empathy and kidness and become kinda like your niece / living vile zombies. And us teachers are afraid to go into classrooms because they beat us up and humiliate us having brought no education nor upbringing from home.
DeleteIt's definitely a losing battle when the government does nothing to stop, but encourages the insanity. It's like Obama hosting the likes of Beyonce and JayZ in the white house. Like, why is the president of the USA entertaining people who sing and murder and admit to being drug dealers? What that crap gets glorified by one of the highest offices in the world, we have a problem. You've mentioned about your leaders there many times and how they run with mob mentality. There's no hope for Serbia with that kind of leadership in office.
DeleteAnd Charlie who invited Harry to his coronation, a man whoa admitted to taking drugs and also killing more than 20 people in his life.
DeleteCorruption everywhere, I tell you. I wish Harry and his wife would go back to London. We certainly don't want them here.
DeleteLondon does not want them either LOL One of the independent associations has started a legal process of checking out why he was admitted into USA when he admits in his memoirs of taking drugs many times. If he lied in his entrance papers about it he should be expelled and if he did not why was he accepted when you do not accept drug users? If they succeed in getting things straight he might be expelled from USA and where will they go then? LOL Could be a fun scenario.
DeleteBack to Canada probably. I believe that's where they stayed when they first started dating. Wish they would have went back there instead of coming here. But we will not expel them. USA likes the tax monies they pay, I'm sure. If they have money, he won't be booted. It's the American way, you know. Money talks.
DeleteBut said Canada she does not want the feckers LOL as they do not want to pay for their freakishly expensive state security.
DeleteThey do have around 200 million bucks methinks with his inheritance, Netflix deal and the pay for his rotten book filled with lies and garbage.
I don't think anyone wants them LOL. Wanted out of the spotlight of the royal family, but wanted all of the perks that came with the job. They can't keep their faces out of the spotlight though, can they? They both seem to think they are of utmost importance to the people of the world, but most of us just wish they'd take their money and slip off into oblivion, never to be seen or heard from again.
