BoB is awesome - I loves it I do!
But Ollie (and others) are correct, the only mention the Brist get is when it's Opertaion Market Garden and the British tank commander refuses to shoot where the yank wants him to (in a stereotypical "I say, chappy, what what!" British accent).
If you have got the DVD set then watch the behind the scenes bit about how they trained for it, they didn't just turn up, film a few scenes and go home again, they went on a proper army course and they were only allowed to call each other by their characters names as opposed to their real life names - it's very impressive and that shows through in the final product I think.
I've also heard about the follow up but I'm sceptical as to wether they will or not, if they do then I'd love to see it although I have more interest in the European theatre of war than the Far Eastern one.
Oh and you used to be able to get some of the uniforms and rubber weapons from eBay - did you know that the weapons that were just for looks were made of solid rubber, but they were made to weight the same as the genuine items (by the used of steel inserts) so it looked realistic when the soldiers were carrying them - it's all in the details
