麻豆约拍

This programme is part of Army: A Very British Institution, a collection of classic 麻豆约拍 programmes about the British Armed Forces available online to watch in full.

This programme takes two different views of the same institution. They were made by the 麻豆约拍's Community Programmes Unit, which meant they were under the editorial control of the squaddies and officers who form the subjects of each film. The programme features the same infantry company, the 1st Battalion Light Infantry, and contains two films, one from the point of view of the squaddies and the other from that of the officers. They illustrate the differences in attitude to the military and the gulf between the leaders and the lead.

Programmes are selected, in part, for their historical context and reflect the broadcast standards and attitudes of their time, which may not accord to some current 麻豆约拍 editorial guidelines. We aim to select programmes which can be shown in their entirety but in some cases edits are required.
