Ultimate Force, a shining example of how a decent show can become horribly derailed. Originally starring Jamie Draven, Ross Kemp, and Miles Anderson as members of the British Special Air Service Regiment, more specifically the fictional 'Red Troop'. Created by Rob Heyland and Chris Ryan, the show's first two series presented a stark and brutal demonstration of what the operators of the SAS go through, from hostage rescue to preventing an assassination, and the repercussions of their actions both with the world at large as well as with their families and friends. [[Anyone Can Die|People die]]. But then it went pear-shaped with the beginning of [[It Got Worse|the third series.]] The entire cast, excluding Ross Kemp, Miles Anderson, and Christopher Fox were given the boot and replaced with a more [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|politically correct]] cast. Many fans could even tell when the series [[Jumped the Shark]] in the first episode of the third series.

The show has aired in over a few countries now, including recently the USA (via BBC's American channel) aside from most of Europe, Oceania and Japan (as SAS: British Special Forces in Japanese). It's also available only in DVD currently with a collector's edition that collects all of the DVDs from all four seasons.

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Louis, who combines a bit of [[Sociopathic Hero]] and [[Deadpan Snarker]] to create one of the more interesting characters later in the show.

** If only because he's one of only three original cast members by Season 3.

* [[Model Planning]]: The SAS team under Henno practices with a semi-turned thief on how to break into a high-security vault.

* [[The Neidermeyer]]: Captain Macalwain showed many tendencies toward this.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Henno [[Die Hard|saying a familiar line by John McClane after he knifes a PIRA/RUC double agent to death.]]

* [[The Squadette]]: Becca Gallagher, one of the contributing reasons to the vault over the shark.
