Our Brave Boys

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A four-part drama series by Christopher Lee exploring the tensions and the madnesses as the political world butts up against the military one.
Zelda Timpson is a high-flying civil servant whose latest Whitehall posting in the Ministry of Defence presents her with some unexpected problems.
She finds herself the boss of four serving military officers who would all really rather be elsewhere. 2: BangetyBang. As Zelda, the new assistant under secretary, gets her feet further under the desk in her corner of the Ministry of Defence, her "brave boys", the serving officers who draft the answers to ministerial questions, continue to surprise her.
Producer Rosalind Ayres. Director Pete Atkin
