Created by Roland Moore, Land Girls follows the lives and loves of four girls away from home, doing their bit for Britain in the Women's Land Army (WLA). As they adapt to their new surroundings, and knuckle down to some hard work and play, they realise very quickly that their lives will never be the same again. Against the backdrop of war-weary Forties Britain, Land Girls is set on the Hoxley estate, as the girls balance their working lives at the run-down Pasture Farm, and the opulent Hoxley Manor.

Nancy, Joyce, Bea, and Annie have all joined the WLA for very different reasons, but they all have one common goal, to serve their country and help win the war. The drama follows the women as they try to live out their lives in very challenging circumstances, with lots of laughter and tears along the way.

Detective Inspector Jonah Gabriel is called to investigate the murder of Harvey Wratten, head of one of the UK's largest crime organisations. But with amnesia, caused by a bullet lodged in his brain and 250,000 missing from the evidence room, Gabriel begins to wonder whether he can trust anyone, not least, himself.

On the other side of the line Joseph Bede, an associate of Wratten's, is planning to risk everything he has on one last drugs deal. Watching from the shadows is the brilliantly lethal puppet master - Gatehouse. As Gabriel begins to unravel the threads around Wratten's organisation, the web of intrigue becomes more complex - and the line that divides the players becomes increasingly blurred.

As seen on ABC1.
