Looking forward to this starting tonight.6 part drama set in the mid-sixties, in which a unit of Royal Military Police officers and their families deal with the challenges of politics, love and war in British-controlled Aden.
Forgive my shallowness, but the only thing I want to know is will Jessica Raine get her kit off? That's about the only thing that could get me interested in this.
I want to like it, but somehow it's just not working for me so far.
It's too Mills & Boon for me.
Well I thought it was great....building up the suspense and introducing the characters.
I loved Jessica's dresses. Puzzled why it wasn't reported that the kid nearly got his head blown off on the roof.
I so agree, wonderful acting, looking forward to more.
I'm struck by how the hidebound world of the colonial British MP life is reflected in the utterly conventional filming of this series about them (I assume it's not going to go off on any interesting style or content tangents in the remaining 5 episodes) !
It's "watchable,"and I like a bit of "Technicolor."
I gave up with The Black Lake after one episode. It was drab, boring and I was past caring what or who was in the cellar after an hour of it.
I don't tend to like period dramas, but if I do, they're post Second World War. Sadly this doesn't look like it'll be one that I like. Not sure I can sit through another hour.
Thought it was OK. I like Raine and Buckley - good actresses. Will stick with it.
Because he wasn't supposed to be on the roof. The corporal was obviously wary of dropping himself in it .And when the kid mentioned it, it was just a case of children being seen & not heard in 1965, so it didn't really register with his parents.
Not convinced it's my sort of thing, felt a bit soapy to me. Also perhaps a little predictable and stereotypical. Will watch it next week, but mainly to see if Essie Davis is any different to her Miss Fisher Mysteries character.
Apparently based on a true story (told by the son of a MP). I think it is realistic - I mean, what are the women meant to do out there but drink, organise and flirt. From what I've learnt from military families of the period there would often be an alpha female - but the wives really had to fit in.
I enjoyed it and look forward to next weeks episode.
Worth a second look, stunning visuals.
Because the babysitting soldier would have ended up cleaning latrines until he reached pension age.
I was looking forward to this after seeing the trailer, and I quite enjoyed the first episode. A nice solid cast and I felt we got to know the characters while the story was unfolding.
I'm interested in seeing where this goes and hope I've finally found something worth watching on a Sunday night.
Was predictable and the shepherdess rescue contrived but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Yes she did, she was so convincing. She has an ' old style Hollywood ' beautiful face which just fits the time period exactly. In fact anything set in 1940 / 1950 /1960's and she'd be just completely right for it.
Is it as bad as they; haven't watched yet just read a review in Torygraph from Jasper Rees.
"As a production, The Last Post feels undernourished. It's not the BBC's fault that it can't match the spend of Netflix or HBO. But while the South African locations do their bit, to look at (and listen to) it's all a bit Eldorado does terrorism."
