I downloaded and watched the whole of this series. Really interesting and I think Kempy did a great job.

I particularly enjoyed the Mongrel Mob and MS13 episodes...

Yea the one where he follows some Palestinian Jihadists in Gaza on an IED planting run is crazy.

I'd also recommend his Afghanistan series where he embeds with a regiment of British troops in Helmand.

Watched the whole series on TV being from the UK, The Poland one being a football fan I enjoyed the most, along with the Russian one.

Anyone know if you can purchase his different series?

Considering he's an ex soap opera star he actually does a decent job with his docus. He also did a series on Afghanistan where he goes to the front line.

Yeah he's good, the MS13 one is terrifying

Slightly off topic, but I thought he sent himself up really well in the "Extras" comedy. I always thought that might make him a decent chap in real life.

I know someone that saw him once in a bar and he acted EXACTLY like his character, even going as far as to drop the "do you know who I am" line... He then proceeded to send a courier out to collect a box of signed photos of himself to hand around the pub!

That said, he's done some awesome TV and does a lot for charity too I think.

Ross is alright, he's got the street edge necessary to deal with some of those real global nutters, I reckon. I guess real recognises real. I remember him as Phil or Grant Mitchell on Eastenders, some real hard heads, him and the other geezer.

Quality!

I was with a mate in a bar in London trying to get served when a lad next to me tried to push in with the girl he was with ( the main singer from that shite band 'Atomic Kitten' ) and said "don't you know who she is?!" My mate leaned over and said to them "yeah,you're the scouse slag who can't sing, fuck off". They did.

Good thing Dash Global only pretended to go to El Salvador, otherwise MS13 might have gotten him.
