Based on candid interviews with former members of the elite Special Forces unit, this four-part documentary series reveals the human experience of serving in the S.A.S. featuring dramatic reconstructions and the inside story of the service.
Episode 1
Documentary in which former SAS members talk about serving in the elite military unit, beginning by explaining how they rationalise killing as part of their duties and what happens to those sharply honed instincts when they leave the service and return to the civilian world.
Episode 2
Colin Maclachlan, a former SAS operative, describes a harrowing mission he undertook in Iraq in 2005, in the immediate aftermath of Saddam Hussein's capture. What should have been a simple mission to deliver security agents to Kuwait went dangerously awry when Maclachlan's cover was blown. He and a colleague were taken hostage, and faced an intense period of captivity punctuated by mock executions and mob violence. Machlachlan's own account is interspersed with dramatic reconstructions to illustrate some of the horrors the ex-serviceman faced behind enemy lines, as brutal gangs and radical groups caused Basra to descend into chaos.
Episode 3
Former SAS soldier Yorky Crossland recalls the six weeks he spent operating inside Iraq, when he was the lead driver for patrol Alpha Two, comprising of eight vehicles and 20 men. He describes how they drove all night and suffered from extreme sleep deprivation, in addition to being ill-prepared for the coldest winter for 20 years. He also recounts the periods of long depression he suffered after engaging in lethal contact with the enemy.
Episode 4
The documentary concludes with a retelling of eight-man patrol Bravo Two Zero's mission behind enemy lines in Iraq during the First Gulf War in January 1991. Their position was stumbled upon by a young goatherd and they were forced to run for the border while the Iraqi military tried to hunt them down.
