Episode 2

Posh but tough Major Thorold Youngman Sullivan and no nonsense right hand man, humorless Sergeant Major Steve Munro, have their work cut out to maintain the impeccable Grenadier standards as their most experienced men have been sent to the war in Afghanistan. Steven Cooper, the regiment's new recruit, has just completed his basic training and can't wait to trade his Buckingham Palace sentry box for the front lines, but he will have to be patient. First up is a pompous ceremony in honor of a state visit by the President of Ghana. Only then will there be a decision about his dream of serving in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the eldest grenadier, Conway Seymore, has to say goodbye to his beloved guards band, which mark his retirement with a song.
