Screen One: A Breed of Heroes 9.30pm BBC 1
This impressionistic account of life as a member of the British forces in Northern Ireland takes place at a very specific moment in history. It is early 1971, the troops have been in Belfast for over a year, their peace-keeping role gradually disappearing in an ugly war. Young Lt Charles Thoroughgood (Samuel West) watches civilians and military trapped in a nightmare of riots, petrol bombs and sudden death.
Nicholas Farrell (Boyd in The Riff Raff Element) endures torments as the commanding officer who loses his faith in a just struggle and becomes hell-bent on sending nationalists to their graves. Richard Griffiths (Pie in the Sky) is a sleazy, self pitying journalist.
