https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/for-king-and-country--6877064For King and Country is a character-led and heartfelt scripted comedy-drama that tells the story of three young friends as they will be either torn apart or brought closer together by the prospect of compulsory national service.

Set in the West Midlands, we follow their journey through the trials and tribulations that military training can bring but, more importantly, we see how the power of friendship can help people pull through difficult situations.

Our trio first hear about the Government’s brand-new national service scheme through a news report. This has already got them worried and (some more than others) they start over-thinking what might come next. After an un-planned and un-wanted altercation with an army General, the next thing they know, they are all inadvertently signed up to complete national service. Will it be what they expected? Will they be able to leave behind everything they’ve ever known and give up civilian life?

As the series progresses, we see how relationships and family ties can not only help people, but also hinder them. Along the way, cracks begin to show and secrets are unearthed.

Will our three friends be able to get through together?


For King and Country is a four-part fictional series conceived and written by Alexander Hogg (Kit, Nativity Rocks!) and directed by A.D.M. Moore (Friedrich). Recorded in the heart of the West Midlands, where the series is set, the podcast features an ensemble cast made up of local talent including Alannah Southerton (Lollipop) and Rebecca Easen (Doctors).
