- S01E01Episode 1Spring 1941. The British Army is losing the war against Germany and the Axis powers, fighting for control of North Africa.Told to stand down after yet another failed operation, Lieutenant David Stirling, an eccentric young officer serving with 8 Commando, finds himself increasingly frustrated with the military authorities and their handling of current strategy. It's a frustration also shared by Lt John ‘Jock' Lewes, who is fighting under heavy bombardment in the besieged city of Tobruk, and Lt Robert Blair ‘Paddy' Mayne, currently ‘detained' in a military prison. But Lewes has an idea he's keen to discuss – and it involves parachutes…Lewes thinks Rommel has made a mistake. He has moved too fast and his supply line is too long, leaving coastal airfields vulnerable to attack. Lewes shares with Stirling his idea of parachuting units of men into the desert, attacking enemy forces not from the sea, where an attack is expected, but from the sea of sand - the desert - where they have the advantage of surprise. There's just one problem. They need to prove that the principle of a parachute drop in the desert is a sound one before the mission can be approved. With typical bravado and ingenuity, the pair set about jump training and securing a plane for their first attempt at parachuting into the mighty sea of sand. When the jump unexpectedly goes wrong, is their plan about to fall at the first hurdle?
- S01E02Episode 2While recovering in hospital, Stirling ruminates on Lewes's idea to attack the enemy from behind and hatches a plan to get approval for their unit from General Auchinleck at GHQ.
- S01E03Episode 3The newly recruited members of the SAS carry out a disastrous and devastating first mission. Determined to prove their strategy will work, they prepare to try again.
- S01E04Episode 4As the SAS's reputation spreads among the Axis Italian and German forces, another daring mission results in a shocking and devastating loss to the team.
- S01E05Episode 5Paddy initiates the Free French soldiers into some unorthodox training methods, and Stirling leads a raid on Benghazi accompanied by the prime minister's son, Randolph Churchill.
- S01E06Episode 6A meeting with Winston Churchill sees the SAS embark on their most daring operation to date. While success sees them achieve official status, Stirling receives some terrible news.
