Above and Beyond

Anybody see that program on ITV last night at 11.10pm Above and Beyond, I only caught the last 10 minutes. The bit I saw was about a Commando raid in Borneo, where they rescued hostages. One of the guys featured was an Ossy lad called Joe Bradshaw, who grew up around the Chery Crescnt Lime Avenue area of Ossy, he's a bit older than me but I used to drink with him in the White Bull up New Lane in the early 70s. His brother Fred was in my class at school and I worked with his younger Brother Mick (who sadly died about two years ago) also in the seventies. I think Joe lives in the Dill Hall area these days, but I'm not sure I haven't seen him for years
