SYNOPSIS

The villagers gather for their traditional annual wheelbarrow race, and with most of the men away fighting the boys take their place. But unknown to anyone, the contest coincides with the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Meanwhile, the Middletons struggle to cope when baby Grace falls dangerously ill, prompting John to steal animal medicine from the farm at the Big House - but at what cost? Maxine Peake, John Simm and Bill Jones star in the historical drama.
