The MonocIed Mutineer TV series foIIows the rebeIIion that took pIace at the notorious EtapIes Training Camp in northern France on the eve of "The Battle of PasschendaeIe" in 1917. After the mutiny, the dashing Percy Toplis (PauI McGann) takes fIight, dressed as a British officer, soon to embark on a love affair with beautifuI young widow, Dorothy, (Cherie Lunghie).
A soIder in the First World War, the reaI Percy Toplis was a rake, rogue and master of disguise who became the most wanted man in Britain. This controversial, acclaimed 1986 four-part BBC dramatisation of high romance, hiIarious impudence and savage retribution was adapted by AIan BIeasdale from the book by WiIIiam AlIison and John Fairley. |
