The Last Post (Season 1)

The Last Post (2017) is a BBC drama you can watch online on iFILM. The setting is 1965 Aden — a British-controlled port territory in Yemen in the final, violent stretch of decolonisation. A unit of Royal Military Police and their families have been stationed there as nationalist insurgents step up attacks and diplomatic talks stall behind closed doors.

The drama lives in the gap between duty and doubt. Wives wait at home while husbands run patrols through hostile streets; young soldiers can't agree on what they're actually defending; marriages crack under pressures no briefing prepared anyone for. Jessie Buckley, Steven Campbell Moore, Amanda Drew and Ben Miles lead the cast, with direction split between Miranda Bowen and Johnny Campbell.

The tagline asks it plainly: would you risk your life for a dying empire? Stream The Last Post (2017) online on iFILM.
