Sgt Bilinski (Roy Holder) led Six Platoon, B Company, through this exciting series following the fortunes of a group of British soldiers in the (fictional) Wessex Rangers.
Episodes dealt with riot control and ambushes in Northern Ireland as well as theft within the ranks, desertion, and marital and money problems amongst members of the platoon.
The series returned in 1981 with a six-parter entitled Spearhead – in Hong Kong. B Company were now based in (have a guess) Honkers patrolling the Chinese border.
