Episode 3

The third and final programme provides a vivid insight into how Paras need to be ready to fight at all times, their perspectives on being first into conflict - and how they face up to the prospect of death either during a battle, or in making dangerous parachute jumps. It also includes the stories of the recruits trying their hardest to get in. Major Nick French is getting married - but in the back of his mind, he's aware that any Para needs to be ready for war at a moment's notice.
