'We've been approached something like 25 times since the war. I
kicked each out the window because they weren't going to make it
with the integrity we require the story of the SAS to be told.' -
Colonel Sir David Stirling, OBE, DSO, Founder of the SAS Based on
over 120 hours of uncovered video and audio tape, The Originals
tells the story of the birth of the SAS in the words of its
founding members for the first time. Even David Stirling, founder
of the regiment, contributed to the project - most historians
believe he died without giving a single interview. It is also a
very human story of a gang of misfits coming together to create a
unit like no other: a maverick son of a Scottish laird; a boy who
lied about his age to enlist; a policeman; a cheeky cockney; a
Lincolnshire boxer; an Irish rugby international imprisoned for
beating up his commanding officer; an Oxford rowing president and a
quietly spoken man of God. The Originals covers the regiment's
formation in 1941 to its supposed disbanding in 1945. With only two
founding members alive today, it is not only an important document
but a thrilling and moving read that will leave you reeling.
