It took four years to bring the serial to screen. Filming took place in Morocco and Northern Ireland.[1]
The serial follows the fortunes of three British Army soldiers from the 2003 invasion of Basra to 2007. Each is inspired to return to Basra for different reasons: one returns for love, one for monetary gain, and one for his belief in the mission to rebuild the country.[1]
It received the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Serial in 2010.
