Bad Lad's Army

Tuesday, July 8 at 9.30pm

Two days ago, thirty Bad Lads arrived at Browndown Camp for a month of 1950s army training – and the chance to become potential officers. All these lads admit to committing crimes – some petty, some serious. Not all have been caught. But can they change their ways and make the grade? In this episode, we find out if these bad lads can hack it when the going gets tough.

There’s a shocking start to the day at 6:15a.m when the lads are woken by their Corporals wielding buckets of ice cold water. After being accused by Cpl. Murray of smelling like a Cornish Pasty, convicted thief Ben Priestman has the dubious pleasure of a regimental bath. Convicted fraudster Kirk Woodend, a lad obsessed with self-image, struggles with physical training and becomes an outcast.
