What are the true spoils of war? British soldier Sam finds out.

A British soldier in Afghanistan is party to the death of a comrade. How must he live now?

A new drama serial by Michael Symmons Roberts. A British soldier fighting in Afghanistan is sent on a journey of atonement after a comrade is killed in one of the last military actions of 2015. Unwittingly he has been transported back to Gallipoli in 1915, then Waterloo in 1815, and then six hundred years to Agincourt in 1415. Each time he must fight and relive the horror of war. With Sam Troughton as Sam, Hattie Morahan as Bea, Bryan Dick as Eddie and Jordan Bernarde as Evan. Music by Jon Nicholls. Director: Tim Dee.
