Jessie Buckley (War and Peace), Jessica Raine (Call The Midwife), Amanda Drew (Broadchurch), Ben Miles (The Crown) and Stephen Campbell Moore (History Boys) star alongside newcomer Jeremy Neumark-Jones in The Last Post, a six-part drama series filmed in Cape Town and set in the swinging Sixties.
Written by BAFTA winner Peter Moffat for BBC One, The Last Post is based on childhood memories, his father's career as an officer in the Royal Military Police and his mother's struggle between being what the army required her to be and what she felt like being.
Set in the shimmering heat of Aden (Yemen), the drama centres on a unit of Royal Military Police officers and their families.
Their job is two-fold: half soldiers and half policemen who face constant insurgency and threat. Danger is everywhere. Hand grenades, mines and sniper attacks are a constant threat.
But life and love must continue.
The Sixties are starting to swing: sexual liberation, polka dot bikinis, new music and prized copies of Vogue have reached the sun loungers of the glamorous BP Club.
As the insurgency takes a real hold and casualties mount it becomes harder for everyone not to start to ask the big questions. What are we doing here? Is it right? Is it right to ask is it right?
As the old established order of the Fifties comes apart who will survive and who will flounder?
