The BBC movie is pretty good. Not as good as the book, but a close follow in storyline and better than anything original we would ever get on network TV in the US.
If you have the time, read the books Bravo Two Zero and The One That Got Away to get two different firsthand accounts of the mission.
If not, at least rent the movie "Bravo Two Zero" to get a non-fiction gritty account of the SAS in action during Desert Storm.
The only difference between the book and movie were some of the patrol members names. Apparently there has been a falling out between the five survivors of Bravo Two Zero's mission and even more tension between them and the surviving families of the three slain members, perhaps this is why different names or nicknames were used.
