Lads' Army is a British reality TV programme, specifically of the kind that constitutes a historically derived social experiment - other examples being The 1900 House and The Frontier House. Shown on ITV, Bad Lads Army is based on the premise of subjecting individuals (in later seasons delinquent individuals) to the conditions of British National Service of the 1950s in order to see if this could rehabilitate them.
