## About The Rat Patrol

The Rat Patrol is an American television series by Tom Gries. The show was inspired by and loosely modelled on David Stirling's British Special Air Service (SAS), which used modified Jeeps armed with machine guns as their transport through the treacherous desert terrain, and Popski's Private Army, there were no similar American units at the time. The title of the program refers to the nicknames given to some of the British Commonwealth forces in the North African campaign (Rats of Tobruk or Desert Rats) primarily Australian soldiers. Consequently, at the time of the original telecast, many British, Australian and New Zealand viewers took offence at the ridiculous dominance of American characters on the program, the result being that the show was pulled from the BBC after six episodes. In Australia, the show was quickly relegated to a Saturday afternoon timeslot, when most people were out. The main audience became children who didn't know the history of World War II; the series was later shown on British satellite television in the 1990s. In addition, the opening episode presented the trio of American actors outnumbering the token British, Sergeant Jack Moffitt, who asks permission to "brew up", and English public school attempt to educate his American ally on the virtues of a cup of tea.
