Alexander Siddig as Yousef in The Big Battalions, Episode 1 (1992)

A 26 (maybe 25 at time of filming) year old Alexander Siddig’s (credited here as Sid El Fadil) first major TV role and second major role of any kind (his only previous credits being as an unnamed party guest in an obscure film and as Prince Feisal in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia), The Big Battalions aired on UK TV in 1992 and disappeared, never getting any kind of home video or streaming release and essentially becoming lost media. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of members of the Sid City Social Club and with the help of series writer Hugh Stoddart, The Big Battalions is now available to stream, for free, to UK residents (and, wink nudge, UK IP addresses generally) here on All4. This is the first time the series, and Sid’s performance in it, have been seen in 20+ years.

Oh, let me tell you a story…


I was a production assistant on “Deep Space Nine”. 

One day I was in a hurry, and decided to shave a half minute off my journey but zipping through a soundstage and out the other side. It was Stage Four, and held Ops, some personal quarters, Sisko’s quarters, the Cargo Bay.. and hallways. 

It was lit, because we were moving there later in the afternoon. I began jogging through the corridor and stopped right in the middle, where I could see neither end of the set piece. Suddenly, I WAS THERE. I was on the station. It was a complete alternate reality feeling, almost deja-vu, a deep familiarity. I paused, and a chill ran down my spine. 

But I was in a hurry, and my feet took me quickly to the end of the set, and I looked back… yep, just a lit set, all alone on the soundstage, nothing I hadn’t seen a thousand times. 

And yet. I had been there. On the station. For a split second, I was no longer on Stage Four, on the Paramount lot, in the middle of Los Angeles. I was in Bajoran space, on a station in the stars. It was only a moment… but the feeling and the memory has never, ever left me. 

Sometimes I wonder if anyone else experienced the same thing.
