The screenplay is based on the novel with the same name of Jack Stoneley. In the UK it was shown as four 50 minute episodes on the ITV network, while in the United States it was syndicated under the Operation Prime Time banner by MCA TV.

The serial stars Dyan Cannon, Nigel Hawthorne, Robert Hardy and Hugh Grant, and is about a mother, Jenny Baines (Cannon), who searches for her son Peter (Grant), who was shot down over Germany, and who she believes is still alive.

The concentration site scenes were shot in the Nottingham countryside during the infamous National Union of Miners strike against the Thatcher government. During the filming of these scenes, the cast had to pass through numerous police road blocks.^{[citation needed]}
