'Lad's Army' to return to ITV

Published Tuesday, Jul 15 2003, 18:07 BST | By Neil Wilkes
A second, "even tougher" series of Lad's Army is being planned for next summer, according to the Media Guardian today.

In Bad Lad's Army, 30 young offenders aged between 18 and 24 will be sent to a boot camp to undergo a gruelling basic army training scheme for four weeks.

"There's an element of social experiment. It will be a question of whether or not Bad Lads Army will have an effect on participants' future behaviour," a source told the website. "They won't necessarily all have criminal records. They may be kids who have been excluded from school for truancy or anti-social behaviour."

The two "officers" from last year's show, Richard "Nookie" Nauyokas and Joe Murray, will be back to put the new recruits through their paces.
