Christopher Lee's comedy drama series about a high-flying civil servant, played by Fiona Shaw, who is 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.
