I'm so sorry I can't take the Dudley-breaks-the-news-of-Eve's-supposed-death scene seriously AT ALL. It's hilarious! It's the reason why I'm a Dudley/Eve conspiracy nut, for fun, but let me explain the reasons this scene leaves me with no sanity.

First, it's important to know that the Qattara Depression, where Dudley says Eve's plane went down, is WEST of Alexandria (off to the left, on a map). Cairo is to the east/right of Alexandria. There is no way a plane headed from Alexandria to Cairo would go west.

So, from west (left) to east (right) we have: the Qattara Depression - Alexandria - the sandstorm Dudley says happened - Cairo.

Now, this is in a show that's playing fancy-dress-up-costume with history, and moved Kabrit from where it actually is (east of the Nile, by the Suez Canal) to a few hundred miles into the desert west of the Nile. Option one in the Eve plane story mystery is that the showrunners just didn't give a shit about where a place was, they simply slapped a name in there because they'd read/heard about it, and figured no one would know or bother to check. That would be on par for the show. (And the racist assumption that no one's going to know/care/bother to check where these places are - I very much doubt we're going to find them playing fast and loose with the location of European places.)

Anyway, leaving aside the option that makes me spit incredulous venom, I have a far more amusing second option to put forward:

Dudley was making shit up.

Which is extra fucking funny because Stirling, having been out in the desert, should very much know where the Qattara Depresison is. Dudley would know that Stirling should know. He'd be cackling internally at Stirling falling for it.

I don't know if I believe a word of what Dudley said, it makes no sense, but David not noticing the inconsistency means either anyone watching the show who knows vaugely where places in Egypt are just have to shriek in intense discomfort, or David is a complete and utter dumbass when it comes to remembering where places are.

eoin: 'a huge character of a guy' a thread:

eoin did well academically and excelled at sports - he was the archetypal all- rounders and popular leaders at school

rugby was eoin's real passion and as captain of the school team, the 1936 school annual noted that 'his keenness both in practice and in matches did much to encourage and inspire the rest of the team […] he has two invaluable qualities - steadiness, and the patience to wait for the bad balls. he has a quick eye, good hands and an abundance of courage.'

eoin was one of the few who actually looked forward to jumping. as he commented in a letter to ambrose on 8 october 1941: 'by the way, how do you like my new rank-parachute-lieutenant? the jumping is damn good fun, nice and soft on the sand.'

eoin ('a first-class weapons instructor', as the jock lewes biography notes), as in 11 commando, was given responsibility for weapons training. In a later letter blair wrote, 'eoin worked very hard here and was entirely responsible for all the weapon training and much of the night training.'

eoin revelled in the physical challenges - in letters to ambrose, he was clearly proud of his developing fitness. he had always felt stronger than most and as an officer he was determined to lead by example. having been used to (and proud of) standing out at school as 'our deputy from belfast', and now being one of only two officer representatives from an irish regiment in arran (the other being the almost superhuman mayne), eoin was determined to succeed. and as a junior officer of just nineteen (albeit that the average age of pedder's officers was only twenty-one), he was resolute in wanting to justify his place in this elite force on merit. he recognized the responsibility that would soon come in leading his men in battle and did not take it lightly. he loved the feeling of independence, of doing something important.

for eoin in particular, this was a huge achievement - at just twenty he was one of the first and youngest of stirling's original officers. it must have been quite a challenge for somebody so young to lead men selected as much for their independence as for their determination and bravery in volunteering to take on such uncertain and 'hazardous' challenges. bear in mind also that many of the ORs would have been pre-war regulars with more military experience than their officers. eoin would train with them and have to work to gain their respect. the leadership skills that had marked him out for selection at such a young age had always been there: captaining sports and debating teams at all levels at school, as well as working with and training 11 commando on arran - all put into sharp focus when leading his troop into battle at litani river.

for eoin's other role at kabrit was that of the camp's chief letter writer - many of the men were not well-educated, or may have been injured or feeling down generally and so sometimes needed his help when writing home to wives, girlfriends and family. eoin's love of writing was well-known - he would spend long hours with his notebooks working on his short stories (most of them romantic) - and given his age and as blair used to say, his 'irish gift of the gab', he may have been seen as the most approachable of those likely to be interested in helping the men out. only twenty years old and exercising his creativity in helping to give voice to the men's feelings for their loves back home - the possibilities were endless. the man who recounted this said that he never used eoin's services himself because his wife would have spotted it a mile away - the letters were far too romantic to have come from him!

How close are the cast of SAS: Rogue Heroes to their real life counterparts? Next up "Gentleman" Jim Almonds played by the wonderful Corin Silva. 

Jim Almonds joined the Coldstream Guards at 18, serving for 4 years before becoming a policeman in Bristol. At the outbreak of WW2 he immediately rejoined the Guards, keen for some kind of action and volunteering for anything he could. This lead him to Scotland and the Commandos and onto North Africa in 1941.

He was part of Jock Lewes' troop that took part in the Twin Pimples raid, and along with Pat Riley, Bob Lilley and Jim Blakeney, was handpicked to join the SAS at its very inception. Collectively they were known as The Tobruk Four. Almonds was a proud guardsman, immaculately presented at all times and he never ever swore.

Jim was a self taught engineer and he built much of L Detachments' training equipment in Kabrit, such as the jumping towers and trolleys. In real life he didn't take part in Op Squatter, the disastrous first mission. He was awaiting news of his very sick son who was in hospital back in the UK and not expected to survive. In his diary he wrote - "I sit back here in the safety of the camp and wish I was with them. One more would make the load lighter. Reality beats fiction for sheer, cold calculating courage. Some of these lads cannot be beaten. Films and books of daring and adventure fall short of this, the real thing." (Not only did his son live, but he went on to join the SAS).

Almonds was awarded the Military Medal a few months later for taking command of the patrol after Jock Lewes was killed. His death affected him greatly. For the next 6 months he fought with the SAS until his capture during a raid on Benghazi harbour. Over the next 18 months he was confined as a POW and escaped, eventually managing to make his way back to England where he became part of Churchill's personal guard. He rejoined the SAS just in time for D-day and was later commissioned by Gen Montgomery personally. MM & Bar, plus Croix de Guerre. When the SAS was reformed in the 50s, he led a Squadron in Malaya before retiring.

A remarkable man with great inner strength and resourcefulness. A gentleman.

▪️◾The trustworthy scholar, the venerable Hajj Sayed Asad Allah al-Safahani, reported to me, in the year one thousand three hundred and nineteen- as I was in Karbala Al-Maalat at that time:

I had a vision of Imam al-Hujjah ibn al-Hassan, peace be upon him, and he said to me: the people of the heavens gather on the day of the death of my aunt Zainab, they recite the sermon that she delivered in Kufa, and they cry. Then, I must silence them so that the order of the world won't be disturbed.

4 + 9?

4. Do you have a favorite episode? What about it makes it your favorite?

Maybe it's unpopular opinion, but due to the huge sad bone in my body my favorite is episode 3. This is peak teh drama to the series and brought down to earth (literally) the SAS boys, which showed us their true nature. It's very poetic in a sense to lose half of their squad due to their mutual decision. We are not talking about Eoin's death in this house btw, their plane scene with Paddy is top 10 romantic moments in period dramas. Also Mike Sadler appeared in this episode!! And the boys with their shopping sequence in New Zeeland's camp is one of my favorite comedic moments in this series.

9. Is there a character you think is underappreciated and deserves more attention?

Again obvious answer is Bill (especially bearing in mind the book material and his place within the SAS) and Eve (yeah, she is fictional character but still character with her own agenda). But another unpopular opinion: beside main trio of Jock - David - Paddy the boys are for the most part underdeveloped and deserve more attention - I wish they gave us at least two more episodes (some cut missions from the book, training in Kabrit).
