How many episodes of Our Girl are there in the new series? BBC drama returns

Our Girl returns to BBC One this week after the last series ended on a real cliffhanger.

The new ruin of episodes will see Michelle Keegan lead the Our Girl cast for a fourth and final time as Georgie Lane, having announced her departure from the show earlier this year.

In episode one of the BBC drama's return, as 2 Section prepares to return to Afghanistan, Georgie is happy to focus on her training role in the UK and send trainee medic Mimi in her place – especially as she is privately haunted by thoughts of Elvis’s death.

But with Mimi’s confidence dipping after some complex training exercises, Georgie is compelled to return to Afghanistan to support the new recruits.

A BBC teasers continues: 'In Kabul, she is pleasantly surprised at how Afghanistan has changed. But on the way to a local hospital in Kabul, she and some of the section are caught up in a suicide attack targeted at Dr Bahil, the hospital administrator and a candidate in upcoming local elections. Georgie learns that the attack was orchestrated by Aatan Omar - Elvis’s killer - who is still at large.

'Meanwhile, the newest members of 2 Section bed in: Prof, an ex-teacher with a painful past; Throbber, the section’s clown, who has some growing up to do; and Sandy, their new commanding officer, who is determined to show them who’s in charge. Mimi, meanwhile, harbours a secret about her home life.'
