Christopher Lee's comedy drama series about a high-flying civil servant (Fiona Shaw) posted to the MOD, where she finds herself boss to four military officers.
The 'boys' are nearing the end of their stint at the Ministry of Defence, and each of them is looking forward to returning to his particular service and, hopefully, to promotion. But with their departure imminent, both they and the redoubtable Zelda discover that their feelings are surprisingly ambivalent.
Christmas is rolling inexorably nearer, as is the end of Zelda's Ministry of Defence assignment. But why should Bryan be so keen to have decorations in the office? And could soldiers really be at risk of losing limbs as a result of vibration in tanks? Will the latest Health and Safety Directive answer either of these questions?
Zelda ...... Fiona Shaw
Colonel George ...... Martin Jarvis
Wing Commander Bryan ...... Christopher Neame
Commander Bill ...... Christopher Godwin
Chief Petty Officer Grieves ...... Peter Capaldi
Director Pete Atkin.
