Has anyone else watched today's episode of Privates? All week on BBC1 at 2.15. I recommend it for anyone of an age to remember when young men had to do their stint as squaddies.
(And this dramatised mini-series has beauteous Patrick Baladi in it, too)
Yes just watched it. my husband was one of the lucky ones who was too young to be in it. But think it would have done him some good if he had. lol. maybe then he could iron.! anyway can anyone please tell me who the dark haired one is with the pretty green eyes,. Have seen him in a few things before.
My uncle did National Service and loved it. During his time he did 2 'O' levels which he couldn't do at his secondary modern school, and they taught him how to drive, which got him a job when he came back home.
It's a real shame it was stopped. I don't think there would be half the problems there are with a lot of youths today if it had continued. A lot of men would be able to look after themselves more, instead of expecting their mothers/wives to do it!
Apologies lilacben, my lust for Baladi blinded me to anyone else.... the boy you mean is Alexander Vlahos, who was Mordred in the recent Merlin series on Saturday nights.
