Those threats seem to amount to a determination to disband the SAS and return the men to their original units and then the creation of a second unit that demands the battle-hardened cadres have to deal with an influx of new arrivals. Oh, and there's the little matter of a war to win.
Pressed into action during the invasion of Sicily in 1943 and then fighting through Italy (real-life SAS veterans recalled this as some of the most intense action they ever faced), Mayne's men have to evolve from an outfit used to working behind enemy lines in the desert to become the shock troops of the invasion of Europe.
Expect action, drama, black humor and all the ingredients that made season one such a resounding success.
