The series also uses reconstruction to explore the world of the SAS. It delves into the highs and lows of the soldiers&#8217;\u00a0secretive lives. Each of the four episodes uses a specific military operation to put a spotlight on\u00a0the human experience of the SAS soldiers, from their selection to their service, through to their return\u00a0to normal life after the SAS.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Raikes, the creative director of Red Planet Pictures\u2019s factual division and executive producer on the series, said, \u201cOur first commission shows exactly the type of content that we will be creating: bold, distinctive and ambitious. [For] this series we\u2019ve managed to get SAS soldiers to talk with extraordinary intimacy and candor not just about what they do, but who they are, how they feel, what makes them tick, how they cope\u2014as ordinary human beings\u2014with the extraordinary situations into which they are thrown. The result is a revealing, gripping and shocking series about the people behind the armor and it\u2019s a testament to the honesty of our contributors and to Channel 5 that we have been able to share such remarkable stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guy Davies, the commissioning editor for factual at\u00a0Channel 5, added: \u201cThis series is a genuine first; we\u2019ve never seen SAS troopers talking in this way before. We\u2019re really proud of the series and Red Planet Pictures has delivered a chillingly compelling first-hand account of life in our most secretive military unit. These are extraordinary stories delivered without embellishment, straight down the lens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Raikes,\u00a0Dan Gold executive produced for Red Planet Pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Channel 5 has ordered the documentary series Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words from Red Planet Pictures, marking the first commission for the company\u2019s non-scripted division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[915,1330,1331],"class_list":["post-8952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-5","tag-red-planet-pictures","tag-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 5 Slates Docuseries Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 5 Slates Docuseries Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: Channel 5 has ordered the documentary series Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words from Red Planet Pictures, marking the first commission for the company\u2019s non-scripted division.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-19T14:55:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 5 Slates Docuseries Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-07-19T14:55:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-07-19T14:55:11+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-slates-docuseries-secrets-of-the-sas-in-their-own-words\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 5 Slates Docuseries Secrets of the SAS: In Their Own Words\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
