A series of outstanding and memorable programmes to mark 40 years of BBCtv
First shown in 1973, this film covers three weeks in the life of eight riflemen bound for a routine four-month tour of duty in Belfast. Beginning at a secret training area where the men learn the techniques of coping with an urban guerrilla war, the film ends in a make-shift barracks close to Belfast's ' Hijack Corner ', where the same men have to put these techniques into practice on either side of the ' Peace Line'.
