Howmanheyman 37219 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 On 03/11/2022 at 16:16, Toonpack said: If you fancy a good read give Killing Rommel by Stephen Pressfield a go, it's a novel/fiction but factually brilliant in terms of the LRDG (SAS) and how they operated. Pressfield's Gates of Fire is a tremendous read as well, about Thermopylae, it's the book they should have made into a film instead of 300 IMO. Expand I've read them both, TP. KR is a tremendous read and totally agree with you on GOF and 300. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 4450 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I'm loving it. Done 4 episodes today. It looks incredible, Blunt obv, and quite the turn from Rafe Spall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 45838 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Every review I’ve seen for it says the cinematography is amazing, and to definitely stick with it until Spall turns up? And, of course, Emily Blurt. On the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
