Synopsis

Based in Devon in the 1940s, these two dramas follow the lives and loves of a group of young women, all from different backgrounds, but all determined to do their bit for King and country in the Land Army.

The Cinderella Service: It's 1943, and Alice Todd has just separated from her husband. With a ten-year-old son to care for, she accepts the position of Warden at a hostel for Land Girls: but is she up to the job?

Cinderella D-Day: 1944. Alice is still busy running the Women's Land Army hostel. But the girls in her care are finding that life in wartime does not run smoothly.
