The last we saw of Paddy Mayne he was in in the desert, machine gun on his up, contemplating commanding the 1st SAS regiment after David Stirling had been captured by the Germans, and saying through gritted teeth: “Blood will follow”.It was quite a final line for the show. And pleasingly, he was right. Blood is in plentiful supply in the eagerly-anticipated season two of SAS Rogue Heroes which lands like a boot to your groin this New Year’s Day.As is plenty of Paddy action, from the very start. There he is, Jack O’Connell as Mayne (who, like most of the characters in the show, was real and just as wild) sat in a Cairo hotel as he’s refused some compassionate leave for the death of his father. He’s quiet for a minute. Very un-Paddy. Then he smashes up the table and chairs. Very Paddy.Collecting himself, he addresses the onlookers, “Apologies ladies and gentlemen, but GHQ in Cairo has got my f***ing goat.” Before then beating up about 15 soldiers to Rip It Up by the Adolescents. Terrific stuff.SAS Rogue Heroes series two is available in full on BBC iPlayer from 6am on New Year’s Day, and airs on BBC One from 9pm that night. Catch up with series one on BBC iPlayer now.
