Our Girl was originally made as a 'one off' episode but if the audience really liked it then a possible series could be made. The public seemed to like it.
A new 5 episode series will be shown sometime in 2014. Lacey Turner is confirmed too return as Molly Dawes.
The story revolves around the troops withdrawal from Afghanistan.
I enjoyed the original episode.
Lacey Turner also returns as Stacey Slater (Branning) in EastEnders early in 2014. The only decent actress in the soap.
I have noticed that sometimes a show is billed as 'new' if it has not been show on that particular channel, so its new to them. (Orignially on ITV but now on Dave maybe)
A bit naughty I think, but maybe its something like that?
Following on from silliemillie it is also classed as new if it is shown on lets say BBC4 but then shown 'new' on BBC1.
Bit of a cheat methinks.
Also if a new series is being made didn't a Stacey / Molly die at the end of the original show making it a little difficult to continue unless they do a prequel series .. . . . . .
No, she didn't die. The funeral we saw her parents watching at the end was another girl soldier's funeral. I seem to recall Molly's dad putting an arm around her mum and saying their girl would be alright.
