“A fascinating insight”

Road Warriors, Twofour’s ground-breaking observational four-part series for ITV1 following the men and women who do one of the world’s most dangerous jobs – delivering supplies and equipment to frontline troops in war-torn Afghanistan, starts at 10.30pm on Thursday 4 February.  A switchover show, Road Warriors: The Extra Mile, featuring highlights from the main series supplemented with unseen footage that expands original stories is also going out on ITV4 on Fridays at 9pm from 5 February.

Twofour secured extensive access with the MOD to film in Afghanistan. The Road Warriors’ cargo ranges from ammunition, explosives and fighting vehicles to sunscreen, bottled water and morale-boosting mail from home. They deliver the supplies and equipment to the frontline by driving across hundreds of miles of hostile territory for 4 or 5 days at a time in convoys that stretch for miles.

The Road Warriors have been followed over many months in Afghanistan as they clock up ‘war miles’ navigating lush valleys, harsh deserts, volcanic mountain ranges, swaying opium fields and bombed out villages amid the intolerable heat of the Afghan summer, encountering both friendly and hostile locals along the way.
