The first episode of a new season, set in the North East, in the shadow of the Russian Revolution. On this day in 1917, in Petrograd, the Bolsheviks conclusively defeated Kerensky's counter-revolutionaries, and in Tynemouth, Edie Chadwick is looking for a fight.
Written by Sebastian Baczkiewicz
Directed by Jessica Dromgoole
Notes
The excitement and fear provoked by the Bolshevik Revolution that overturned Russia, Britain's greatest ally in the war, rippled out around the world and - briefly - made people believe that anything was possible.
Season 12 of Home Front, 'Giddy with Possibility', is set back in the world of industrial Tyneside, at a time of unprecedented unrest and union activity, and where ladies' football is gaining a foothold in the national imagination.
Story-led by Shaun McKenna, Season 12 brings together the talents of Sebastian Baczkiewicz, Sarah Daniels, Caroline Horton and Katie Hims.
