Don't know if any of you managed to watch the 1st of this series on Friday night but it's well worth a butchers (Thanks for the heads up Tom). It has unseen interviews with Stirling and the originals from 1985:
SAS – The Originals is the amazing, exclusive and action-packed inside story of the real Dirty Dozen – the men who started the world’s most elite and secretive special force, the British Special Air Service, the SAS. For the first time, the real SAS story is revealed on film by the founder himself, Colonel David Stirling, and the misfits, rogues and rule-breakers he gathered around him.
Sadly, Stirling and all the other men who made up the very first SAS unit are now dead. But at a secret location, twenty years ago, they met and put on film their incredible and highly personal stories. Until recently, few people knew these interviews existed. They were the stuff of legend.
With exclusive access to these previously unseen interviews, the SAS founders’ story can now be told, for the first and only time, in their own words.
This three-part series has been created around these interviews, and includes dramatic, atmospheric reconstructions based on the testimony of the men themselves. Uniquely, it is made with the cooperation of the SAS and includes photographs and operational reports hidden since World War 2.
Presented by Colonel Tim Collins, who served 12 years with the SAS, the series brings a modern and informed perspective to the originals’ extraordinary story.
