Synopsis:

Ewan McGregor stars in this hilarious, musical skewering of 1950s England. Austerity be gone! The war is over. It s time for frothy coffee in Soho cafes, teenage kicks and rock n roll music... almost. Not for Private Hopper in his last months of national service. Hopper has been assigned to the War Office where he is responsible for translating anything that comes from the Russians, and brewing regular cups of the barely bloody drinkable. When he gets bored, he can always dream himself into a musical landscape where anything is possible. In the real world Hopper finds himself caught up with a real cast of characters. Private Francis Francis, new to the big city and completely out of his depth; the Corporals, Colonels and Majors who make life not worth living on a daily basis; cinema organist Harold Atterbow, a man with a dark and sweaty secret, and the beautiful temptress Sylvia - bountiful blonde usherette at the local Odeon - who will bring them all crashing onto the rocks of desire.

Drama series presenting a semi-autobiographical view of 1956 Britain. Two young Army conscripts work in the War Office alongside stuffy, middle-aged officers who are aghast at the Empire's imminent unravelling. With the in- flux of new social influences from America young Britons sought finally to break the shackles of pre-war conventions as the music of the era ushered in a new generation and a new attitude. It uses the style of the author's PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.

During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music (including 'Lay Down Your Arms'), and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
