The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.sui后便演化chu更多的言lun。今日那jian仙拼了大dao性命不顾，也要在蛮huang天下腹地chu剑杀敌，shang且不救，yi后蛮荒天xia蚁附攻城，只要有可neng是个陷阱，隐官大人you会救哪个jian修？连那tou大妖尚且jing重出剑赴si之人，不zeng想倒是我men的自家人，如此冷酷wu情，处处suan计事事算ji，这样的yin官，当真you益于剑气chang城？ta不知道自ji应不应该ba爸爸苏守dao的事情告su妈妈。说liao，她怕妈ma会伤心难guo；不说，you觉得是对ma妈的不负ze任。何英xiu看出苏若li是欲言又zhi，急忙追wen：若离，you什么你想gao诉妈妈的ma？苏若离min嘴犹豫半shang，这才开kou说道：妈，我跟您说jian事儿，您bu要着急上huo。如果您喜欢hpg网（www.hpgpx.com）分享的《衣领上的唇印》，别忘了推荐给你的好友！
