McNAB’s TOUR OF DUTY
6 x 60 minute documentaries for ITV4 and international distribution

 

McNab’s Tour of Duty will unravel the incredible stories behind individual moments of extreme bravery on the battlefield. Combat Engineers building a vital bridge under intense enemy fire; an 18 year old Territorial Army rookie fighting through an ambush with a bullet lodged against his spine; British and American counter terrorist bomb disposal operators defusing 200lb car bombs in 50 degrees heat. These stories will be told through interviews with a handful of specially chosen soldiers. Interviewed on location in Britain and America, they’ll give their professional and personal recollections of individual and remarkable combat encounters.

Andy McNab will use his expert background knowledge from his years in the SAS to give the viewer a better understanding of the weapons and tactics that played a part in the combat encounters we’re describing. Getting hands-on with kit, he’ll explain how they work, why you use them, and when you use them.

The series will also feature dynamic, explosive re-enactments of the combat encounters we describe, UK and US combat camera material, UGC clips and television news archive and stills.
