Just seen an advert for this. Monty and an Archeologist guy putting various weapons to the test. Looks like it's going to be a fun program Tuesday at 9pm (repeated the rest of the week too)

NGCI Commissions OSF for Perfect Weapon


WASHINGTON D.C., February 1: National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) has commissioned Oxford Scientific Films (OSF) to produce a new six-part series examining the science, technology and history of weaponry, titled Perfect Weapon, which is distributed by Southern Star International.

Each hour-long episode features a different category of weapons, as the presenters—ex-Marine Monty Halls and Bristol University academic and weapons expert Stuart Prior—study its origins and examine its evolution. The series will premiere on National Geographic Channel in the U.K. on March 4 at 9 p.m., and will air globally later in the year.

The executive producer for OSF is Paul Sen and Sydney Suissa is the executive VP of content for NGCI, while Tim Usborne serves as the series producer. Southern Star International will launch the series at this year’s MIPTV.

Clare Birks, the CEO of Southern Star Entertainment UK, said: “We are really delighted to be working again with National Geographic Channel on this exciting new series. The format is very innovative and combines a ‘hands-on’ practical approach with fascinating stories from history”.

Sydney Suissa, the executive VP of content for NGCI, said, “Perfect Weapon engages viewers with its dynamic combination of demonstration, military history and strategic analysis. It's a very innovative and contemporary way to understand how human ingenuity decided these epic battles”.

Paul Sen, the executive producer at OSF, said: “We will find out how the ‘Perfect Weapon’ is made, how it works and how it forged human history.”

Nobody told me he was an ex marine! OH well, I haven't taken the piss out of him or incinerate that he was gay, so my teeth should be safe and my nadgers remain unbruised?

Naaa! If he is an ex-booty he will be too busy invading Spain to come and get you.

I heard a few ads for this and thought it sounded rather good I mentioned it to Monty on Sunday and he was most animated describing it and clearly had a fun-filled time making the programmes. So I'll be watching, or videoing ............ places to see, people to do

Hmmm.............. Trusting an ex. Rupert with a real gun.

Should`nt that be left to more junior ranks, who know what they are doing ?

Help !! ................... please

My TV guide says " Perfect Weapon" at 21:00 on Nat Geo channel 526
But when I go into sky to try to mark it, it's not on something called Air Crash Special Report is and, being as my sister is a pilot, I tend not to watch those
