如果你正在犹豫要不要看，我可以告诉你：这部1993年的英国剧集把冷战时期的军事训练、青春期荷尔蒙和五十年代摇滚乐拧在了一起，调度上像一部会唱歌的荒诞喜剧。某天，他的衣领上突然出现一抹鲜艳的唇印，这抹红色像一颗炸弹，把他平淡的生活炸开一道裂缝——他遇见了一个神秘的女人，她的身份与军方的秘密任务缠绕在一起，而他自己也被卷进一场真假难辨的暧昧与追踪之中。这片子讲的是50年代英国军需处的小职员，每天上班摸鱼、跳舞、谈恋爱，还动不动就唱起歌来——对，它不是正经歌舞片，但角色动不动就冒出一段幻想歌舞，特魔性，节奏轻快得像喝了几杯啤酒。 ;)。 这部迷你剧最特别的地方是角色会毫无征兆地随着50年代流行乐突然起舞唱歌——不是百老汇式的华丽，而是像日常发呆时内心突然爆发的幻想，把冷战规训下的欲望和孤独变成了滑稽又心酸的歌舞片。 ♫。

　　The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
