I got the DVD Box for a Birthday present from the wife. Though I think she really brought so she could ebjoy watching the series. As we both really enjoyed the it when it was a TV.

Major Winters has passed on. I hope the series did him the credit he deserved.

Yes it certainly did, he was heavily involved in its creation and I'll be re-watching it as a fitting tribute

No. No way. I have read up so much on this man, he is genuinely an absolute legend - his bravery and true loyalty. Well it's a rarity nowadays.

I feel a bit teary eyed... which is a bit unlike me.

I have literally just bought Band of Brothers with some quidco monies left over as I love it so so much. I have just started watching The Pacific which is brilliant but... doesn't quite have the same edge as Band of Brothers.

RIP Winters - what a true gentleman and hero.

Funniest bit in The Pacific was when one of them started singing
"How f***ed are we now! how f***ed are we now!" just before they went into battle. Had me proper laughing for about 10 minutes.

Band of Brothers was a fantastic series - so insightful when you heard the vets chatting about their experiences and also so filled with emotion.

Major Dick Winters was epitome of a hero / legend. Then again anyone who died in those horrible dark times were.

Saw this on twitter, very sad

Band of Brothers was a brilliant series. I need to finish watching the Pacific.

Next time a reporter is going to refer to a footballer as a hero for scoring a goal they should sit back and reflect that Major Winters and his ilk are the definition of the word hero. I was saddened to hear of the death of a great man.

I'll be re-watching Band of Brothers when I have a free day but not The Pacific, like many others I can't help feeling that it missed the mark.
