This brand has so much potential for further series, we can look at Navy Seals, the Marine Corps, Green Berets etc. Tom Hardy is the perfect narrator for this series. He is incredibly knowledgeable, absolutely passionate and respectful of the subject with his voice adding a really premium flavour".
