BBC One Sets March Premiere Date For ‘Our Girl’ Season 4
BBC One has set a March premiere date for Season 4 of ‘Our Girl‘, which sees Michelle Keegan reprise her role as Georgie Lane.
Written and created by Tony Grounds, the new six-part season takes place one year on from 2 Section’s last tour in Bangladesh. A positive Georgie is making leaps in her career, having been promoted to Sergeant, and now training a new bunch of medics. Happily living back in Manchester with her family, Georgie is insistent to her friends in 2 Section that she’s happily settled in her new job and will not be joining them on their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan, no matter how much they want her to.
As 2 Section prepares to return to Afghanistan, Georgie’s happy to focus on her training role in the UK and send trainee medic Mimi in her place – especially as she’s privately haunted by thoughts of Elvis’ death. But with Mimi’s confidence dipping after some complex training exercises, Georgie is compelled to return to Afghanistan to support the new recruits.
In Kabul, she’s pleasantly surprised at how well she copes, and full of promise about how Afghanistan has changed. On the way to a local hospital in Kabul, Georgie and some of the section are caught up in a suicide attack which they later learn intended to target Dr Bahil, the hospital administrator and candidate in the upcoming local elections. Georgie learns that the attack was orchestrated by Aatan Omar… Elvis’ killer, who is still at large. The news floors her – being back in Afghanistan is dredging up painful memories after all…
Elsewhere, we meet the newest members of 2 Section: Prof, an ex-teacher with a painful past; Throbber, the section’s clown who has some growing up to do; and Sandy, their new Commanding Officer who’s determined to show them who’s in charge. Mimi, meanwhile, harbours a secret about her home life.
The series is a BBC Studios production for BBC One. The producer is Yvonne Francas (‘Love, Lies And Records’, ‘Death In Paradise’) and executive producers are Tony Grounds, Roberto Troni, Hilary Salmon for BBC Studios and Mona Qureshi for BBC One.
‘Our Girl‘ Season 4 premieres Tuesday, 24th March 2020 at 9pm on BBC One.
