Further details
The Bluestone 42 team are called out on routine ops with their CIA liaison officer Carter (Michael McShane), where things take a drastic turn.
Back at base, they are introduced to Mary (Kelly Adams), the new padre, who Nick (Oliver Chris), the Ammunition Technical Officer, takes an instant shine to. How will she react to his advances?
Meanwhile, Simon (Stephen Wight) grapples with Millsy (Gary Carr) over the report that Nick has forced him to write on his behalf, and the young Privates - Mac (Jamie Quinn) and Rocket (Scott Hoatson) - enjoy winding up Bird (Katie Lyons) who may or may not have named the bomb seeking robot 'Arthur'.
