BBC Privates,  2 Disc DVD Set,  TV Series about National Service

BBC drama series exploring the final days of conscription to the British National Service. It is 1960 and, though the Cold War has begun, the decision is taken to end mandatory conscription. There appears to be a recognition that times are changing and one of the final groups of recruits embody the break between the old world and the new. These men do not believe the best way to serve their country is to get up at dawn and dig foxholes; they would rather be enjoying rock and roll music and demonstrating their belief in individual liberty. Patrick Baladi, Jack Fox and Marc Silcock star.
