Our Girl returns to BBC One this autumn for a second season, this time featuring the British Army on a posting in contemporary Kenya.
Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan joins the cast as medic Georgie Lane for the five new episodes.
‘Two Section’ return to our screens for this African mission, with a new female medic at their centre; Lance Corporal Georgie Lane (Michelle Keegan), a brilliant and committed soldier who loves the adrenaline and adventure of her job.

Kenya is a complicated and volatile posting – one which Georgie will find full of surprises that will challenge her professionally in unexpected ways, and which will change her personal life forever.
