Watched the first part, about the Royal Logistics Corp and their convoy work in Helmand Province. Amazing stuff, amazing bravery. I can’t find the 1st episode on the ITVPlayer but the 2nd one is on Wednesday 28th March 23:35 ITV1. A great programme and the best trucking documentary since Destination Doha, in the 1st one a truck takes a wrong turn at night and ends up being blown up by a Taliban RPG. The rest of the battalion have to steam in and help.
had a look also couldn’t find it, I’m going to look on my tv now as i have tiro and it may be on catch up
that should be tivo
Apparently it was filmed in 2010. A bit of a preview youtube.com/watch?v=6NSwP7EB4Hc

Lol few of my mates Wer in the first series was good to watch like. Better than being out there , didn’t know there was a second ill be watching cheers
just got hold of the dvd off a friend
I wasn’t impressed to be honest, I have it on DVD.
There was too much over dramatisation, not quite in the same vein as Stobart Trucks and Trailers, but still guilty of it to some degree.
A lot of them, I don’t think came across particularly well. Right up to the CO.
It’s worth a watch, but I think the likes of “Ross Kemp in Afghanistan”, “Commando: on the front line” etc did it a lot better, maybe there is less drama creation required with the Infantry for obvious reasons, but there was far less trying to ■■■ it up to appeal to the knuckle dragging masses.
The title “Road Warriors” should have been a warning.

They took a wrong turn, crashed into a canal, when the sun came up they got rocketed by the Taliban destroying their truck and had to be rescued by their mates with machine guns and Apache attack helicopters. Not sure how much more dramatic it could have been?
