Our Girl: Series 1 DVD BBC TV PAL 4 Brand New Sealed

Molly Dawes is a smart-mouthed, stroppy teenager who lives with her parents and four young siblings in a tiny council flat in east London. Dad's on benefits, Mum's pregnant again and after leaving school with no qualifications, Molly is working in a local nail bar. We can see the expected narrative of her life--and so can she.

When she discovers at her 18th birthday party that her boyfriend is cheating on her, Molly gets drunk and ends up sick in the doorway of an Army Recruitment Office. It's a pivotal moment in her life. Realising there might be a better future waiting for her, Molly soon joins the army--and heads to the brutality and grim reality of Afghanistan's frontline.
