Former soldiers in
Britain''s elite Parachute Regiment struggle to come
to terms with civilian life after leaving the army.
Civvies was written by Lynda La Plante and directed
by Karl Francis for British Broadcasting Corporation.
EPISODE LIST:
Episode No. 1
Frank Dillon retires from the Army after 18 years

He tries to find a job, while trying to resist the
temptation of the easy money offered by working for

He takes one of his former colleagues, who was shot
in the throat by a sniper, under his wing and tries
to restore some of his self-respect.

The stress of civilian life causes Taffy to crack
up with frightening consequences. Dillon and Steve

Malone, the soldier whom Frank blames for the bomb

Belfast.
Episode No. 4
Frank is stunned by the suicide of his military buddy
Steve. The ex-paras form a company, Stag Security

Ireland, finds himself an accomplice to a crime.

a crime they didn't commit.

not commercial quality.
