The main story takes place in 1956 in a military intelligence office in Whitehall, England, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts discover that their peaceful lives have been disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ivan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is serving the country as a translator for Russian documents. Hopper is tired of work and daydreams every day, causing his colleagues to break into contemporary popular songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of violent corporal Pete Berry (played by Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is the object of Mick's longing; His colleagues are Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged organist named Harold Attenborough (played by Roy Hart). Unlike the street wise Hopper, Francis was a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career was interrupted by his military conscription. The appearance of a bookworm niece seconded to an American military officer allows these two conscripts to pair up with suitable partners after an initial mismatch. Some secondary themes include the influence of American rock music on British society, the gap between senior analysts as regular military officers and other enlisted classes, the works of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of ornate theatrical organs. This unusual background - transplanting military culture into a civil servant style office environment - reflects Porter; In the 1950s, he served in the military himself. Although this work has the form of a romantic comedy, it is different from Dennis Potter's less traditional works; In the middle of Harry Potter, there was not only pornography and violence, but also Harry Potter; Her unique dreamlike imagery. The core of this work is a surreal music sequence set against the backdrop of the song 'Persian Market'.
