Meticulously based on unit war diaries and eye-witness accounts, each episode of TOMMIES traces one real day at war, exactly 100 years ago.

Justin Salinger, Indira Varma and Anna Madeley star in today's story set in neutral Holland. Tasked to complete a sensitive diplomatic mission Robert de Tullio finds himself drawn deeper not only into the murky waters of 1WW Intelligence but also into a more personal and dangerous quest .
