Beau Geste is a BBC television serial, based on the 1924 novel by P. C. Wren.

The series aired on BBC1 from 31 October to 19 December 1982 and starred Benedict Taylor, Anthony Calf and Jonathon Morris as the three brothers.

This version, unlike the Hollywood movies, stays true to the book, in that the three young brothers join the French Foreign Legion, are later commanded by Sergeant Major Lejaune (not Markov, as in one of the Hollywood versions), and this TV adaptation contains the scene from the book where the surrounded legionnaires defiantly sing Le Boudin.
