From BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama:
Amanda Root stars in a stirring wartime thriller with a difference.

After the British defeat at Dunkirk, and the death of her husband, Mrs Brown has found herself pushing a tea trolley for the new Nazi Military Administration in London.

Determined to survive, she makes sure she is unremarkable. But when she's contacted by the Resistance, can she keep her resolution?

2/5 In the corridors of Whitehall, Mrs Brown must turn from tea lady to spy.

3/5 Is saying no more dangerous than saying yes?
