Pvt. Brigg (Hywel Bennett) is a fresh soldier in the British military, stationed in Malaya alongside numerous other young, inexperienced soldiers. The lack of experience isn’t just on the battlefield either, as some of the young men are still virgins, including Brigg, who is eager to lose that status. Like most of his brothers in arms, Brigg has a crush on the beautiful Phillipa (Lynn Redgrave), but she is more or less off limits, or at least a risky date. This is because she happens to be the daughter of the base’s commanding officer, so anyone who tries to romance her is likely to face the wrath of the man in charge. But the flirtations and attempts to score are often pushed to the side as the real dangers of war loom and survival is not assured. Will Brigg be able to make it through these dangerous times and pursue his interest in Phillipa, or will he be yet another young soldier struck down in the conflict?

Genuine and heartfelt, The Virgin Soldiers is an insightful and hugely underrated British comic drama.
