The BBC have announced that Soldier, a brand-new 5x60 documentary series with exclusive access inside the British Army, will air on BBC One and be available on BBC iPlayer on 5 October
L-R: Private Jerry Okyere, Private Hope Mainwaring, Private Owen South, Private Olivia Hall-Beakhouse, Private Callum Stretton
Amongst the recruits is a 20-year-old whose mother is a pacifist, a 17 year-old former fast-food restaurant worker, a 21-year-old ex-aspiring footballer from Middlesbrough, and an 18-year-old woman who hails from a military family and is eager to follow in the footsteps of her father. Under the watchful eyes of the training team, including Lieutenant Wahab, Sergeant McIntosh and Corporal White, recruits face the reality of what it means to be a frontline soldier, at a time when war is raging in Europe for the first time in a generation.
Jack Bootle, Head of Specialist Factual commissioning at the BBC, says:"Soldier takes viewers behind the scenes at ITC Catterick and into the heart of the British Army. I’m delighted to bring this revelatory series to BBC One and iPlayer, and looking forward to viewers watching our new recruits transform from kids to close combat warriors."
The new series is the latest example of the BBC’s commitment to producing more content from across the UK.
