Michelle Keegan Our Girl Series 3

Michelle Keegan’s back in camouflage gear for a brand new series, as 2-Section fly out to Nepal on a humanitarian mission. Medic Georgie Lane is trying to put her second failed engagement behind her, but with old flame Elvis (Luke Pasqualino) still very much on the scene, it looks like singledom won’t be straightforward – especially with a handsome local engineer catching her eye, too.

Action-packed and gripping, it’s a welcome return for this great series. Rating: ****

In just six months, they had turned the largest country on Earth into the first Communist state. Historians and writers still debate to this day whether it was a triumph of people power, or a violent coup d’etat. Juliet Stevenson narrates. Rating: ****
