Soldier Soldier is a British television drama series that follows the lives of two soldiers, Dave Tucker, portrayed by Robson Green and Andy McNab, played by Ben Nealon. The show aired on ITV from 1991 to 1997 and is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential shows of its time.

The show is set in the world of the British Army and focuses on the personal and professional lives of its characters, including their relationships with each other, their families, and the wider world around them. The series follows the soldiers from their time in training all the way through to their deployment and eventual return home.

The series is character-driven, with a strong emphasis on the relationships between the characters. At its core, Soldier Soldier is a show about the bonds that form between soldiers as they serve their country, and the struggles they face when they return home.

Robson Green plays Dave Tucker, a brash and impulsive soldier who is constantly getting into trouble. Despite his flaws, Dave is a loyal friend and a good soldier, and his relationships with other characters on the show are some of its most memorable.

Ben Nealon plays Andy McNab, a more reserved and serious soldier who is often at odds with Dave. Despite their differences, the two men develop a strong bond over the course of the show, which is tested time and time again as they face the challenges of military life.

One of the most notable aspects of Soldier Soldier is its realistic portrayal of life in the British Army. The show was created with the help of the Ministry of Defence, who provided technical advice and support to ensure that the show accurately reflected life in the military.

The show also tackled a number of challenging issues, including racism, sexism, homophobia, and mental health. At a time when these topics were not widely discussed in popular culture, Soldier Soldier was praised for its willingness to tackle difficult subjects head-on.

Overall, Soldier Soldier is a powerful and moving drama that explores the lives of soldiers and their families in a realistic and empathetic way. Its strong characters, compelling storylines, and groundbreaking approach to tackling social issues have made it one of the most beloved and iconic television shows of its time.
