Love Child
« on: July 26, 2016, 09:02:25 PM »
Has anyone watched any of this series? I tried to get through it on Monday night along with the accompanying adds and gave up. Whilst I didn't go to Vietnam I was an army driver in that era and I picked so many faults in it that it was not funny. Did we have forward control Landrovers (2b's?) over there? I also noticed things that from my basic infantry training at Kapooka that didn't look right (fixed bayonets?.) I would love to hear from someone with better knowledge of the subject that myself.

Yeah, I gave up watching THE BLOCK people pretending to be Builders for the same reason. 
Didn't even know LOVE CHILD was about Soldiers.   Ha.  ;D ;D sorry.

Hi Boys ,

I reckon whoever  or if they had any sort of military advisor ?

He needs to look hard at a career change. There is a huge number of questions anybody with five mins in the green skin would have . You would think the producers would have hit up organisations such as this forum looking for correct era vehicles at the very least.

Anyway , I don't think it's my sort of programme 😊👍

What about the officer in his peaked cap? Couldn't quite make out his rank so let's call him Captain Target.
