Having built his entire identity around violent rebellion, it's little surprise that the SAS under Paddy wastes no time picking a fight with the Sicilian Mafia, and making enemies of any civilians unfortunate enough to cross paths with them. Disbandment is a matter of if, not when.

However, William Stirling (Gwilym Lee) – older brother of David – brings a sense of civility and purpose to a group that, in every sense, has gone rogue. While David plots his escape, Williams forms a second unit with the aim of not just proving the SAS's worth, but keeping Paddy's worst instincts in check.

Created by Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight, the six-part series is war as rock'n'roll, and here's how to watch SAS: Rogue Heroes season 2 online from anywhere in the world and for free in the UK.

You can watch SAS: Rogue Heroes season 2 on the BBC iPlayer streaming service as described above by using a VPN — no matter where you are in the world!

Normally streaming services like iPlayer will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our VPN experts.
