Steven Knight's new drama SAS Rogue Heroes is here. The six-part series is an adaptation of historian Ben Macintyre's book and charts the creation of the SAS, which was formed during WW2 in North Africa.
The BBC series, which is created, written and executive produced by the Peaky Blinders creator and directed by Tom Shankland, has a star-studded cast list, including Sex Education's Connor Swindells, who plays the unit's founder David Stirling. Other key cast members include Jack O'Connell, Game of Thrones star Alfie Allen, Sofia Boutella, and The Crown's Dominic West.
A synopsis from the BBC reads: "Cairo, 1941. David Stirling - an eccentric young officer, hospitalised after a training exercise went wrong - is bored. Convinced that traditional commando units don't work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare.
