Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Drama by Dennis Potter set in Whitehall during the Suez Crisis and starring Ewan McGregor in his screen debut. An expansion of the earlier TV Play, Lay Down Your Arms, the action follows Frank Francis and Mick Hopper as they plough through their National Service by translating Russian documents for the Military Intelligence service. Mick's just biding his time until he can return to civvy street and pursue his dream of playing in a Rock & Roll band, while Francis is smitten with his upstairs neighbour, Sylvia, who just happens to be the wife of his and Mick's vicious commanding officer, Pete Berry.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Corporal Berry seems, during most of the first episode, to be as jovial as Mick. Before long, it's revealed that not only is he a genuine Drill Sergeant Nasty, he's also regularly physically abusive to his wife and an all-round bully.

Boring, but Practical: Francis' love of Russian poetry is soundly rejected by the staff at the War Office, with them stating that this trope is what his translation work should consist of.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Mick appears to suffer this due to the boredom of the War Office, particularly in the first couple of episodes when he'll have an Imagine Spot musical number at the drop of a hat.
