    • Trivia
      The BBC have commissioned a second series of the World War II drama, however there is no release date for series 2. Series 1 took two years to make, so viewers could have quite a wait.
    • Goofs
      The characters of Kasia and her mother are listed in the credits with the surname Tomaszeski. However, as women their name in Polish would be Tomaszeska.

    Nice to see Polish side
    Nice to see the polish side of the story and how horrifying it all was. Glad the bbc used well known polish actors rather than British actors with accents. Lends an authenticity to proceedings. Well acted throughout and great to see heavyweights like Helen hunt and Sean bean and Lesley Manville in tv
