Hmm, I must admit I noticed that as well... But wasn't she the one who they said was going to flirt with the operators so they'd win the battle for them??

Yes, she was, and she did not need to make an efford to flit, just needed to stand there and expose herself, nah sorry, I am only joking, as I oftern get this impression of these operators were just some geeky people who sit infront of the compuer to play games all day, hmm come to think about it, I am one of thouse...I could easily play 6 to 8 hours on my day off!

Maybe im getting too old but Ive got to admit I never noticed anything about the contestants anatomy.....

Doesnt it make you squirm, shout, throw things at the t.v. because it so so simple and yet they just dont see it? Do you sit their and imagine the praise from Nus and the other guy, when you and YOU alone direct the operators into a victory that comes off even better than what happened in history. So much so that a military guy who watches the show - calls you up to give you an immediate field commission as a top strategist for the army (in case of WW3 and we need to fight with spears again)

No? nah me either.

There is a difference between getting old, or just a being a dirty boy, I think I felt into the second option. Sorry mum.

I actually think the show is rather wried, as there are so many factors in warfare in the pass, weather condition and landscape etc. Being sucessful in the show rarely represents that you would have been a good commander back in the old days.

For the show last night (6-2-2005), I did think the commanders were rather rubbish. The man just shouting about things that nobody understand, they were no communication. Not only that, I dont think anybody knows whats going in.

The lady in pink stood there and let his horses flanked and eat arrows, only then she had the idea to report that, "all my horses are dead". Welldone mate.

The only person who has some idea was the other lady we'ved said that she was "well built". Releasing the elephents, and she was doing the game in quite relaxed fashion, thats the sort of people I like to work with in situation like in time commander.

But I think things are different when you are placed in a film studios and have to do the game in the style of the shown, but I might be shite as well, if I do get on.

I am trying to get on the show but no info on the web?

Next week we have:

Ju-jitsu instructors from Essex seek the upper hand as they encounter a vast Byzantine Roman army in the year 530AD. From Dara in Mesopotamia, Richard Hammond referees one of the largest-scale battles ever refought in Time Commanders.

We should see some new unit skins.

You have to email the producers to get an interview

Glad to see Nus getting back on form, and who was the other expert? He seemed quite fiesty too. Still Nus is always best when their are nice women in the team.

It was Adrian Goldsworthy, author and historian. I think he is an expert in Roman warfare, and was also on the last series. Wasn't he the historical advisor on Rome, or am I making things up again?

Oh and surely the best with the females is Saul David - the ladies man of the show if ever there was one but not yet featured on this series! Just watch the ratings go up when he does!

There is a similar thread in the Single player section of the Forum that has a link to info about going on the show.

Just look for the "Time Commanders" Thread.
