The Paras is a 7 part BBC made series that follows a platoon of potential paratroopers from the moment they step from the train as civilians, to the culmination of their training and deployment on active service. Made in 1982 on the verge of the Falklands war, it goes on to prove in dramatic fashion how valid and current the training was for these men. The executive producer on the series was David Harrison, a former paratrooper, and has managed to bring a real "insider" feel to the series. Narrated in parts, this really is a first class production that has you glued to your screens as you experience the pain and agony that the recruits are subjected to in an effort to gain the coverted Maroon Beret. At every stage of their training the viewer is captivated by the fact that not all of the recruits will make the grade, in fact as many as 75% fall by the wayside! A truly magic moment for me was when members of the platoon where presented their Maroon berets, the sense of achievement and satisfaction written on their faces is enormous.
Reissued to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Falklands war, this is a gem of a double video and is highly recommended.

A well known classic documentary series of the 80's and one I have watched many times. The programme serves as a real inspiration to get out there and push yourself. If ever I start to lose motivation in my training regime this always reinvigorates me.
The big question is why is this not on DVD? There must be thousands of soldiers, would be soldiers and fitness enthusiasts who would like to see this. Anyone who enjoyed 'Commando: On the Front Line' will love this.
