''Andy McNab's Tour of Duty'' is a British documentary television series about the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. First broadcast in June and July 2008 on ITV4, the show is presented by ex-SAS soldier Andy McNab, and is cast as an insight into the life of the Allied soldiers in these conflicts,〔(The Mirror ) Andy McNab's Tour Of Duty 10 June 2008〕 setting aside the already well documented politics of the conflicts and giving accounts in the soldier's own personal frames of reference.〔(The Guardian ) Watch This - McNab's Tour of Duty, 10 June 2008〕 The series combines first hand accounts and amateur film footage shot by the soldiers on the ground, with official archive footage from the Ministry of Defence, and reconstructions. The series was first commissioned by ITV from Flashback Productions as a 6 part series of 1 hour episodes, to be broadcast exclusively as original programming for the digital channel ITV4 in a move to increased spending on the channel's output in a bid to increase the channel's audience share, and target the channel toward a demographic of 25 to 44-year-old men.〔(Broadcast Magazine ) published by EMAP.

Both reconstructions are interspersed with the accounts of those involved and real footage. Also included are so-called 'McNab briefings', where McNab describes particular weapons and tactics. Background information about the units is also given. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy McNab's Tour of Duty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
