Ben EsslingerHOST
Okay.
Ben EsslingerHOST
Well, it is Jack Barton, who is in a show called – or was in a show called SAS Rogue Heroes.
Ben EsslingerHOST
Jack Loudon, as we've spoken on earlier, from Slow Horses.
Ben EsslingerHOST
Callum Turner of Big Ears fame.
Jason GreenbergHOST
And when I saw all the news that's popped up, I'm like, oh shit, yeah.
Ben EsslingerHOST
Yeah.
Ben EsslingerHOST
I mean, listen, I have heard that Jack Barton is very good in SAS Rogue Heroes, but just, you know, and maybe this is me being overly superficial, but looking at the guy, he looks kind of like a rodent.
Ben EsslingerHOST
Like he's got a little bit of a rodent look to his face, which does not bode well for someone named James Bond.
Leigh SalesHOST
He was in a TV show, Sex Education, that I loved.
Leigh SalesHOST
He was then in Rogue Heroes, where the two characters he played in those things were just so polar opposites to each other, and then in this, um, series, he's again entirely different.
Leigh SalesHOST
Now, I know absolutely nothing about him whatsoever.
Leigh SalesHOST
He just keeps showing up in a few things I've watched.
George SimmGUEST
So we know that whatever we do, especially if it's dramatic, has a national, international importance.
George SimmGUEST
A lot of what we do, which isn't dramatic, in terms of like Rogue Heroes, which is just a load of nonsense, but is massively more important nationally, doesn't get reported because it's not sexy.
George SimmGUEST
But we know that scrutiny is
JamesHOST
with us wherever we go.
AndyHOST
not consciously thinking about the fact it's a microphone if you touch and move it it will pick up on that the nature of it is it's
JamesHOST
designed to pick up sound Max also mentions side note if either of you watched SAS Rogue Heroes it follows the creation of the SAS and their involvement in North Africa alongside the long range desert crew among others Stay subtle, humble, and brave.
JamesHOST
Max, surname redacted.
JamesHOST
Now that is a listener who knows about times that we've had to bleep out a surname.
JamesHOST
So if anyone wants to get in touch with Max.
JamesHOST
Well, Max, you mentioned something interesting here, and we can segue a little bit with this.
JamesHOST
SAS Rogue Heroes, Andy.
JamesHOST
We have seen this.
Jessica LessinHOST
Rogue.
Sam LessinHOST
Rogue Heroes.
Sam LessinHOST
Dave.
Jessica LessinHOST
Not emanated.
Jack CarrHOST
What a showman, essentially, and a murderer, of course, as well.
Jack CarrHOST
But how about on the adaptation front? Let's say Rogue Heroes, Operation Mincemeat, A Spy Among Friends.
Jack CarrHOST
What has that process been like for you to see those brought to life?
Ben MacintyreGUEST
Well, it's fascinating, and it's, you know, so much depends on who is doing the adaptation as to how much they want me to be involved.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
You know, the one we just finished on the siege, you know, I was on set a lot.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
I was advising the actors, and that was all great fun.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
Others, like Rogue Heroes, there we go.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
That's just been made into a series that comes out next year.
Kevin O'CallaghanHOST
That's really where we are on this.
Andy WatsonHOST
The only thing that I've seen that Jack Barton in is SAS Rogue Heroes, which gives him the link with, uh, McKnight before we've even started.
Paul LallyHOST
Yeah, so did you see, did you remember him from SAS Rogue Heroes? Yes, I
Andy WatsonHOST
did.
Andy WatsonHOST
I hadn't clicked his name, but he was quite a big character in it, and well, he's still in it as far as if it comes to Series 3, which has obviously already been filmed, so that won't have any impact if it comes to the fact that he is
Andy WatsonHOST
He played his character...
Andy WatsonHOST
Well, I suppose the fact that he's one of the original SAS officers, there's a slight link to Bond where it's in a very different genre, for want of a better word, the way the character is played.
Andy WatsonHOST
But I had never thought of him before, but having seen him and recently re-watched Rogue Heroes...
Mark RonanHOST
SAS.
Mark RonanHOST
even though Paddy Mayne in Rogue Heroes has a Mark 1 trench knife has he? yeah he does he has a Mark 1 trench knife and actually if anyone's watched the new Walking Dead Daryl Dixon he has a Mark 1 trench knife Jimmy Darmody in Boardwalk Empire so it's your quick dissension if you're a hardcore soldier in any TV show you'd get given a Mark 1 trench knife even though Boardwalk Empire was in the 1920s yeah because he had it in the first World War oh it was a trench knife oh sorry no what I'm saying is the Mark 1 trench knife You see very few of those, though, in modern cinema and TV,
Ken MaddockHOST
even though how iconic they are.
Ken MaddockHOST
Well, I was watching Six Days about the SAS in the Iranians.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
One or two of them have, and I've been incredibly lucky that a number of the things I've written have been picked up.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
A book I wrote called Rogue Heroes, which is about the SAS and about the family of the SAS during the war, is now in its third season on the BBC.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
They're about to do a fourth season.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
It's amazing.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
It's history.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
To reimagine it as they want to do it.
Ben MacintyreGUEST
And Rogue Heroes...
Ben MacintyreGUEST
It's really Steve Knight's project.
David O'CallaghanHOST
Although Gary Oldman is doing his best to break my little mind because yet he was yapping away ahead of the new season of Slow Horses on Australia.
David O'CallaghanHOST
report as a tv show anyway and uh he confirmed or did he confirm because what would he know he says that the james bond the new james bond has already been chosen and while he didn't say his co-star from slow horses jack loudon loudon jack loudon got the job he basically said he thinks jack loudon got the job Jack Barton people may remember from Heartstopper and SAS Rogue Heroes has emerged as a favourite with the bookies but Oldman seems to think it's all about to happen very soon I hear no mention of Jack O'Connell there and I'm very upset but do you know what I still haven't gone looking for the old betting slip because I don't want to put the mockers on it and do you know what there's too many books to move around to
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
find
David O'CallaghanHOST
it but eh So yeah, Jack O'Connell is moving down the list severely.
