The French Foreign Legion was established in 1831. Because of legislation the previous year foreigners couldn't serve in the French military so the government decided to kill two birds with one stone of putting unwanted immigrants to work while maintaining a large empire.

In doing so a legend was born. The FFL is the most enigmatic regiment in the world.

It's a military force that is romanticised and talked about and written about. Reality gives way to myth but one thing is has always been known about the regiment - its military discipline is brutal. This reality series gives eleven men a chance to taste some of that discipline This is both the strength and weakness of the show.

In the show the recruits are given the chance to ring a bell in which case they're ' jailed ' in a cell for 24 hours before they're sent home where as in the Legion you're in for five years like it or not and if the real life discipline was enforced here as it is in the FFL then most of the recruits would leave on the first day. This means the NCOs - Chef Hauser, Sgt Ferguson and Cpl Sutter all former real life Legionaires pull their punches but not enough to stop one recruit, Terry a computer salesman from Edinburgh jacking it in on the first day Of the three NCOs ' it's Sgt Glenn Ferguson who sticks out the most. He's a man of small stature who seems to have a grudge against the world because of it and who insists on making the recruits lives a misery. This isn't bullying of course - it's military doctrine to condition recruits in to being soldiers. Apart from serving several years in the Legion Sgt Ferguson had sevrved several years in the American airborne forces so he knows every trick in the book when soldiers aren't pulling their weight This ties in with another strength from ESCAPE TO THE LEGION - the way it is structured. Episodes finish on a cliffhanger. One of the recruits Lee a 19 year old falls and injures his back and seems to be making a meal of it.
