Set in post-war Britain, this Potter screenplay has been made into a C4 TV series. It is the time of Suez and the setting is the War Office - half of the department's incumbents are true army men, British to the core and proud of it, but the remainder are world-weary national servicemen, aching to get into the civvies and the promise of a new life. Post-war austerity is still with us, but the younger style is making itself felt - and Potter's rock 'n' roll music reflects this.
