Episode 2

BBC One - Soldier, Series 1, Episode 2

The training regime ramps up, and recruits struggle to adjust to army life.

The remaining infantry recruits face tough discipline and exhausting physical tests as they strive to prove they can take on one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

As training ramps up, recruits are pushed to breaking point, testing them to see if they have got the killer instinct and are fit for the front line. The strict discipline the training team insist upon is a reminder to the recruits that they are joining one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Standards are high on the agenda, and Cpl White is not impressed when some of the new recruits fail their room inspection.
