Stephen Poliakoff returns with Glorious 39, a thriller set in a Britain on the brink of war.
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is at the forefront of the movement to appease Hitler; whilst others, with Winston Churchill as their powerful figurehead, believe that war is essential to combat the Nazi threat.
The story centres on the formidable Keyes family, who are determined to preserve their very traditional, English way of life in the midst of this political uncertainty. The adopted, eldest sibling Anne (Romola Garai) is a budding young actress in love with Foreign Office official Lawrence.
Anne’s seemingly perfect, carefree life surrounded by friends and family begins to dramatically unravel when she stumbles across secret recordings hidden by outside forces in the out-buildings of the family home. Whilst trying to uncover the origin of these recordings, a tangled web of dark secrets begins to unfurl, along with a growing sense of menace and betrayal.
