The narrative focuses on David Sterling (Swindells), Jock Lewes (Allen), and Paddy Mayne (O’Connell), who believe the traditional commando units are insufficient to tackle the war, and vow to do something about it. All this intel helped the author create a heavily detailed account of the events, which in turn allowed Knight to shape a powerful retelling for the screen. While writing his book, Macintyre gained access to never-seen-before footage, confidential files and interviews with the founding members of the specialist service. His account was the first authorised history of the SAS, and it holds great value. The wartime series is an adaptation of Ben Macintyre’s popular novel of the same name. With an all-star cast led by Sex Education’s Connor Swindells, Skins’ Jack O’Connell, and Game Of Thrones’ Alfie Allen, it’s no wonder the premiere episode, which aired on BBC One on October 30, left fans reeling. The six-part drama uncovers how the covert Specialist Air Services were formed during World War II. Steven Knight, creator and writer of Peaky Blinders, has returned with another talk-worthy BBC series titled SAS Rogue Heroes.
