Has anyone else been watching this? ( BTW I've no idea whether this is shown in the States, although I do know you won't have seen the ones about the US gangs because there is a copyright ban on showing episodes in the country where they were shot.)

It's not a show for the faint hearted.

I watched the special last night about the Mungiki in Kenya. Seriously freaked me out seeing toddlers glue sniffing. And also Kemp was rather taken aback to find the Mungiki, while they are probably up to no good at times, are not the gang that they are painted.

I'm not a huge fan of Kemp the actor, but I'll give him this - he's got balls that clank. The Afghanistan shows were great too - and kudos for Kemp admitting he peed himself the first time he was shot at.

Anyone else watch?

I haven't seen Ross Kemp's gang programmes, but I nearly bumped straight into him in Slough in the very early 1990's. He was coming out of The Observatory as I was going in, through the same door. He didn't half stare at me too. Mind you, a lot of people used to tell me that I looked like Sharon Watts at the time, so maybe he thought so too? :D
