The S.A.S. has always shrouded itself in secrecy. Its men regularly undertake some of the most dangerous missions imaginable in war zones around the world. But the world's finest elite fighting force prefers to operate strictly out of the spotlight. This programme gives an unrivalled insight into the true combat history of the regiment, from it's formation in the North African desert in WWII to its highly secret operations in the jungles of Malaya and Borneo. It reveals the hidden wars fought in Oman in the 1950's and 1970's, undercover operations in the Gambia, Sierra Leone, Bosnia and the Yemen. The Iranian Embassy Siege operation is followed in detail as is the notorious 'Bravo Two Zero' mission, and other well less known missions in the Gulf War, taking the story up to the war in Afghanistan and the brutal hand-to-hand fight in the caves of Torah Borah. These dramatic events are recounted using vivid battle recreations, rare archive film and even the private 'home movies' and photographs of S.A.S. personnel, whilst ex-S.A.S. veterans recount their own experiences. For the first time, this is the real story of the S.A.S.

Firefox - A former Vietnam fighter pilot is persuaded to steal the Russians' new super-jet from under their noses, despite a legacy of air-fright from his service days.
