It’s a (sort of) Peaky Blinders in the desert, and it works for me.

OK, so no one’s much bothered with character arcs – there’s a war on, after all – but as a romantic hymn to raw courage the whole bang-shoot is a riot.

Knight will have to go badly astray to not make something highly watchable out of such extraordinary source material. Happily, his heightened, left-field script is perfectly in sync with his subject.

I thoroughly enjoyed SAS: Rogue Heroes. It is funnier than Peaky Blinders, which dragged itself into the doldrums for its final series, though this still has plenty of its predecessor’s vim. It is a bracing way to spend a Sunday evening, and, to borrow the parlance of one of its leads, a lot of fun, old boy. Indeed.

Writer Steven Knight brings his A-game to this vividly realised and relentlessly enthralling account of the creation of the SAS.

It's Peaky Blinders in a new set of clothes, and while it is a worthy successor to that show, it has yet to reach that series's heights nor plumb the depths of its characters in quite the same way. But the dialogue is razor-sharp, the performances entertaining and the action well-staged.

For people raised on a diet of Call of Duty and sub-Tarantino knock-offs, SAS Rogue Heroes will feel like a breath of fresh air. For others, it will feel like an indulgent and messy rewriting of recent(ish) history, where each sequence has a 50:50 chance of hitting a bum note. This self-conscious melange of good and bad produces, unsurprisingly, a product of variegated quality.
