Gary: Tank Commander - Series 1
Gary: Tank Commander features Scottish BAFTA-winning writer-performer and stand-up Greg McHugh as Gary McLintoch, a soldier who returns home from Iraq to the barracks and offers unique insights into both worlds revealing what life is really like for a soldier - accidentally shooting kittens and playing Erasure at checkpoints.
Along the way he poses some pertinent questions such as how come nobody in the army seems to have met the most famous tank commander of the moment, James Blunt? He takes us back to the tank, shares his combat recollections and mulls over the differences between everyday life in Edinburgh and the life of a soldier, coming to the conclusion that the main difference between the two is the quality of the milk.
