Occupation - BBC Ireland Television Miniseries (Aired June 2009)

Occupation is the three part hour long TV mini series that aired on the BBC in June 2009. It stars James Nesbitt as Sergeant Mike Swift, Stephen Graham as Corporal Danny Peterson and Warren Brown as Lance Corporal Lee 'Hibbsey' Hibbs. The plot follows the three troops over the course of five years, from the 2003 to 2007, examining the affect the war has on each of their lives.

There may be spoilers in the descriptions and images.

SA80

All of the characters hold or have held an SA80 rifle in the course of the series.
