Series 1, Episode 1

This episode features Peter Allis bringing us the inter-services golf championships from Kabul; three very surprising guest interrogators; the children's programme specially for military families, Thomas the Tank; and a French bomb disposal expert with a difference. Barry from Watford is at the Imperial War Museum and the Blue Arrows return to ruin another display.

Speaking about the new series Controller of BFBS Radio, Nicky Ness, said: "I was delighted with the pilot programme and the very positive reaction we got from the BFBS audience, with whom the humour and content really resonated.

"It was a no-brainer to give the team the thumbs up to make more programmes and to involve our listeners by way of inspiration for sketch ideas through their own stories and experiences. There's no better source of material than life in uniform and we're very excited about the follow up episodes."
