Strictly's Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell appear in high spirits as they leave another gruelling rehearsal ahead of week sixMayne's name was recommended to Captain David Stirling by his friend Lt. Eoin McGonigal, a fellow officer of No. 11 (Scottish) Commando, and an early volunteer for the Special Air Service (SAS); then known simply as the Parachute Unit. It is widely believed that Mayne was under arrest for hitting his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Charles Tasker Keyes when Stirling met him. A hand-written entry in Keyes' personal diary states that he was not at the officer's mess of No. 11 (Scottish) Commando at Salamis on Cyprus on the evening of 21 June 1941, the date on which Mayne was accused of beating up a fellow officer, Major Charles Napier. Keyes had stayed the night elsewhere, and arrived at Salamis the following day, 22 June 1941, when the trouble was already over. Keyes states in his diary that he conducted an investigation and found Mayne responsible. [12] Robert Blair "Paddy" Mayne was born in Newtownards, County Down, Ireland (now Northern Ireland), the sixth of seven children in a Protestant family. The Maynes were prominent landowners who owned several retail businesses in the town. He was named Robert Blair after a second cousin, who at the time of his birth was a British Army officer serving in the First World War. The family home, Mount Pleasant, is situated on the hills above Newtownards. [2] The stealthiness of its appeal is a curious thing. I confess I am not particularly drawn to war stories, so I approached this a little warily. More fool me, because this has been a brilliant drama. The cast is excellent, teasing out the conflict between these wildly different characters, forced into the same circumstances by war. Each is a type, yet afforded great complexity, whether that is Dominic West as the slippery Dudley Clarke, trying to navigate duty and personal pride, or the SAS, along with the Free French (and handful of Germans) who have joined them.
