\n\tLONDON: BBC One has lined up three new titles, Our Girl<\/em>, Grey Mates<\/em> and Inside KFC<\/em>, for broadcast in 2014.<\/p>\n \n\tStarring Lacey Turner, Our Girl<\/em> is a 5×1-hour drama series from BBC Drama Production about a woman who becomes a soldier in the Royal Army Medical Corps.<\/p>\n \n\tHat Trick Productions' 6×30-minute comedy Grey Mates<\/em> follows the lives of three recently retired couples. The cast is led by Russ Abbot, Stephanie Beacham, Philip Jackson, James Smith, Alison Steadman, June Whitfield and Paula Wilcox.<\/p>\n \n\tInside KFC<\/em> is a 3×1-hour Wild Pictures-made observational documentary that takes a look at the KFC empire in the U.K.<\/p>\n \n\tCharlotte Moore, controller of BBC One, noted: "All three of these new series take on timely and meaningful subjects that really speak to our audience, and offer an entertaining invitation into completely different worlds. Our Girl<\/em> is a rite-of-passage story about a young soldier beautifully captured by Lacey Turner. In the same year when our British troops withdraw from Afghanistan, the series will follow the extreme life-changing experiences she is forced to face both on tour and when she returns back home. Comedy has a unique ability to make the ordinary extraordinary and Grey Mates<\/em> delivers that with a big hit of character. The series follows three newly retired couples who re-discover what it means to have time on their hands, hilariously brought to life by a stellar cast whose relationships are tested in a multitude of ways. And, in documentaries, Inside KFC<\/em> will go behind the scenes of one of the world’s biggest fast food chains. At a time when our entire nation seems to be obsessed by food, the series will gain unprecedented and surprising access to a global super brand that, despite being on almost every high street up and down the country, we seemingly know very little about."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LONDON: BBC One has lined up three new titles, Our Girl, Grey Mates and Inside KFC, for broadcast in 2014.
