For anyone who hasn't seen it, please hunt a dvd down, it's classic spy gritty action drama - think Spooks but on red bull. Great escapism.

    I preferred Series 1 of Strike Back tbh. I liked Project Dawn, but all the way through I just missed John Porter.

    Any idea if they have/are making a third series of this? I see they've been running repeats of season 2 on Sky recently which they normally do in a run up to a new season.

    According to Wikipedia, 'Strike Back: Vengeance' will return on 17th August in USA and September in the UK.
    Here is a trailer. I'm looking forward to it too.

    Thanks Ben looks good and if you go to the Sky micro site, all the info of the new series is there. I hope Grant gets her kit off in this series. She would make a great new M if thet wanted one.
    :-B

    Which series is better Strike Back or Strike Back: Project Dawn?

    I haven't watched Strike Back, I'm DL it now. All I can say Project Dawn has had me hooked when I stumbled upon it whilst surfing the channels. It's now on record series.

    Real blood and guts drama, love it.

    I think Strike Back is better, but Project Dawn is still good.

    I prefer Project Dawn, though the original series is still good. I feel that Project Dawn has more variety and Richard Armitage seems to be in everything and so I kind of got bored of him. It's still good though.

    I'm going to watch the original Strike Back tonight.

    I had no idea Vengeance started this month. I'll have to watch both series before then.

    I know this is old news but people may have not seen it or associated it with people they know.
    The cast of the 300 prequel, 300: Battle of Artemisia might be interesting for people on this thread. There is Eva Green, Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale and there is also Sullivan Stapleton who plays Damien Scott in Strike Back.

    Thanks for that. Last episode was awesome.

    This is a behind-the-scenes documentary, might have a few minor spoilers, I can't really imagine people watch Strike Back purely for story anyway.
    It's on Sky Go (http://go.sky.com/vod/content/SKYENTERTAINMENT/content/videoId/9ef93f01b6539310VgnVCM1000000b43150a________/l/l/content/1984/videoDetailsPage.do) but if you prefer to watch it on TV it's on Sunday 2nd September at 2:45AM on Sky1.
