SAS Survival Secrets (2003) BBC

Guardians Against Terror II (4/6)

British Minister Long continues her visit to the fictional war-torn country of Mostovia. Eddie’s four-man bodyguarding team has been tasked with her protection. Using extensive archive and reconstruction, former SAS Sergeant Eddie Stone reveals how a close protection team reacts to various threats and armed attacks. When the team hands over protection responsibilities to the local authorities, the Minister and the Mostovian Prime Minister are abducted by terrorists. We look at how they survive the rigours of being taken hostage. Meanwhile, Stone and his team return in a counter-terrorist/Iranian embassy siege role and prepare an immediate assault on the terrorist stronghold. The scenario is fictitious, but the techniques and specialist skills shown are real, based on SAS procedure.

Led by Eddie Stone, a team of four SAS veterans re-enact a whole range of dramatic scenarios: on the battlefield, behind enemy lines, evasion and interrogation. Stone gives a step-by-step guide to each reconstructed mission and, with high-tech imaging equipment and computer graphics, he explains the team's strategies while his men demonstrate their weapons and their skills and reveal how they escaped death. Features a recreation of a typical SAS mission.
