SPEARHEAD THE COMPLETE SERIES ONE Royal Wessex Rangers British Army NEW 2 DVDSET

Michael Billington, Stafford Gordon and Lawrence Davidson star in Southern Television's tough and gripping drama series about life in the British Army.

Colour Sergeant 'Jacko' Jackson (Michael Billington) has been given command of a platoon of the Royal Wessex Rangers - a job normally reserved for officers. Can an NCO effectively lead a platoon of fighting men? Company Commander Major Taylor (Lawrence Davidson) has his doubts. Now Jackson has to prove himself - the hard way.

The Royal Wessex Rangers have been posted on a tour of duty to Northern Ireland - the most dangerous assignment in the British Army in the 1970s. Here, they must face an invisible enemy and fight a deadly guerilla war. At the same time as trying to lead his men effectively, Jackson must deal with serious internal problems in the platoon...

Hard-edged, realistic and powerful, Spearhead has been favourably compared to Soldier Soldier for its unflinching depiction of life in the British Army. Available for the very first time on DVD, Spearhead: The Complete First Series includes all seven episodes which were first shown on ITV in 1978 and have not been repeated since.
