The read
The series ran 1 season across 6 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music, and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
