SeriesDocumentary
Everyman is a British television documentary series that aired on BBC One in a late-night slot on Sunday evenings between 1977 and 2005.

One edition from 1990, A Game of Soldiers concerned a group of soldiers exploring their feelings about being trained to kill. Throughout much of its time on air, series of Everyman aired alternately with Heart of the Matter, a debate series which featured somewhat similar topics. Both series were cancelled in the 2000s after the BBC revamped the output of its religious programming.
