About The Monocled Mutineer

The Monocled Mutineer ended on September 21, 1986, on BBC One. The series concluded its run after airing four episodes from August 31 to September 21, 1986.

The show was a drama based on the rebellion at the Etaples Training Camp in northern France during 1917, just before the Battle of Passchendaele in World War I. It depicted the story of Percy Toplis, a soldier known for his charm, disguises, and rebellious nature, who became a wanted man in Britain. The series was adapted from a book by William Allison and John Fairley, and it explored themes of romance, defiance, and retribution through its portrayal of wartime events.

The show had a runtime of approximately 70 minutes per episode and was a four-part dramatization that remains a notable part of 1980s British television history.
