How would you feel if Nazis infiltrated your picturesque homeland? For five long years beginning in 1940, Hitler’s forces occupied Britain’s Channel Islands. For families on the islands, life changed overnight and forever.
This Masterpiece Theatre drama draws on the wartime experiences of three families: the well-off Dorrs, the middle-class Mahys and the working-class Jonases. Heart-pounding suspense mixes with unexpected romance, even as the hostile Nazi invaders impose their will on every aspect of daily life. This widely heralded production stars James Wilby (Gosford Park), Clare Holman (Prime Suspect 6 ), Philip Glenister (Calendar Girls) and Saskia Reeves (Dune).
Recommended for mature audiences.
