“Taking
the viewer on the exotic world-
wide and sometimes dangerous
combat and humanitarian tours of duty
of a popular young female British
Army medic in extreme conditions,
is the third series of one of the most
successful primetime dramas on
BBC One, Our Girl...”
STOCKPORT-BORN BRITISH ARMY MEDIC Corporal Georgie Lane (good to see Coronation
Street favourite Michelle Keegan: Tina and Bobby) has travelled the
world on humanitarian and combat missions as a valued member of the close-knit
Two Section in the acclaimed military drama series Our Girl.
Brave
and strong, Georgie undertakes challenging tasks in Nepal, Nigeria, Belize and
Bangladesh, steeling herself to be prepared for anything while trying to come
to terms with the death of her former fiancé, Elvis (Luke Pasqualino: The
Musketeers).
“Our
Girl
is an incredibly
absorbing military
drama series
that could
keep you up
all night...”
Enduring
highly dangerous encounters and difficult situations where she has to think
on her feet, Georgie's time in Nigeria begins reasonably peacefully at a medical
outreach project, training and mentoring a section of the Nigerian army.
Georgie and three fellow soldiers, including young Maisie Richards (Shalom Brune-Franklin:
Doctor, Doctor) whom she has persuaded to go off-grid in search of missing
schoolgirls despite orders to the contrary from Commanding Officer Captain Charles
James (Ben Aldridge: Fleabag), are kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko
Haram.
Taken with the two young women is Rab (Harki Bhambra) and a Nigerian soldier
and as they go ahead with a planned rescue, the soldiers are stopped in their
tracks as they realise they have made a terrible mistake that could have far-reaching
consequences.
Captain James was a close friend of Elvis and believes he was responsible for
Elvis' death, a belief complicated by the growing attraction he has for Georgie.
While recuperating in Belize, Two Section undertakes a jungle training exercise
that becomes life threatening and then turns deadly as Captain James suffers
an horrendous accident which leaves he and Georgie facing the wrath of vengeful
drug runners.
In Bangladesh, Two Section is detailed to work at a refugee camp run by Inspector
Chowdhrey (Navin Chowdhry) and his wife Barsha (Farzana Dua Elahe) who have
a son Sumon (Imran Khan), where families fleeing war-torn villages in Myanmar
across the border river are being given food and medical treatment.
Two new recruits join the ranks: Private Fingers Stille (Sean Ward), who was
part of the original team and is disappointed not to be selected for Special
Services, and troubled Jason "Ruby" Curry (Patrick McNamee)
Facing a world of desperation and corruption, a deliberately planted bomb, possibly
human trafficking, drug smuggling and a cholera outbreak, danger seems to lurk
at every corner as Georgie carries out her demanding medical work. And with
Captain James out of commission, tough Special Forces Captain "Bones" McClyde
(Olly Rix) is now in charge.
Will Captain Charles James and Georgie manage to keep the feelings they appear
to have for each other under control? Georgie has already faced challenges in
the post-earthquake Nepal where she had to face a dangerous criminal gang and
came a little too close to young engineer Milan (Rudi Dharmalingam: Rellik).
