Homefront (ITV-1 Claire Skinner, Nicola Stephenson)

Drama series about the lives of a group of women whose partners are soldiers serving in Afghanistan. For Tasha though things couldn’t be worse as her husband has just been killed in action.

Well cast (with yet another prominent role for Warren Brown) but it doesn’t offer up anything we haven’t seen before, ranging from Soldier Soldier to the more recent Prisoner’s Wives.
