Ultimate Force - Cast

Cast

Only two characters survived all 4 series of the program, Staff Sergeant Garvie and Colonel Dempsey. Garvie is only character to appear in every episode. After this the third longest running character is Corporal Louis Hoffman, who first appears in Series 1 Ep 3 passing the selection course. He then became a main member of Red Troop from the start of Series 2 onwards. In series 1 and 2 the core of the cast remained relatively stable, with only a small number of changes. However between Series 2 and 3, a major change in the cast occurred. Of the main 6 members of Red Troop at the end of Series 2, only Garvie and Hoffman returned for Series 3. Jamie Dow, Pete Twamley and Ricky Mann are all killed off at the start of Series 3. Disguised body doubles are used for the death scenes, as the actors did not return for the series. Captain Caroline Walshe also does not return for Series 3, with Dempsey saying he reassigned her after the deaths. This meant an influx of new characters at the start of Series 3, which again remains largely stable for the reminder of the shows run. A large number of plotlines were left unanswered, most notably, the killing of Macalwain by Henno, the conflict in the Twamley's marriage, and the murder of Jamie's step dad, hinted to as killed by Ricky Mann.
