SAS Rogue Heroes, the next TV series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, has a release date.
We can officially confirm that the six-part series will premiere on Sunday, October 30 at 9pm on BBC One.
Based on the book of the same name by Ben MacIntyre, the show depicts the formation of the Special Air Service during World War II as well as their escapades in Egypt.

Sex Education's Connor Swindells stars as David Stirling, an officer who is hospitalised after a failed training exercise and forms what would later become known as the SAS.
The official synopsis reads: "Convinced that traditional commando units don't work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare.
"He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling's team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic."
The series also stars Skins actor Jack O'Connell, Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen, The Mummy's Sofia Boutella, Brassic's Dominic West, Dunkirk's Tom Glynn-Carney and Line of Duty's Jason Watkins.
Knight, who both wrote and directed the series, said: "It has been a privilege to work on a project which tells the story of a renegade band of soldiers who used wit and imagination as much as firepower to halt the march of Fascism across North Africa during the darkest days of World War Two.
"This is a war story like no other, told in a way that is at once inspired by the facts and true to the spirit of this legendary brigade of misfits and adventurers."
SAS Rogue Heroes premieres on Sunday, October 30 at 9pm on BBC One.
