The Crimson Field has 7 million viewers and yet the BBC has not yet recommissioned a second series.


The Crimson Field is a beautiful period drama set in an army hospital in Northern France at the beginning of WWI.


Writer, Sarah Phelps’ plan is to make three more series for each year of the conflict, ending in 2018, a century after the end of the Armistice.


Why Should BBC Recommission 'The Crimson Field'?


It showcases compelling acting by a brilliant cast.

Has a griping and evocative story-line.

It holds historical significance commemorating the 100th anniversary of WWI.

Portrays a unique angle of WWI - including the stories of the women involved as well as the soldiers and other male hospital staff.


It has 7 million viewers.

Richard Rankin.

Oona Chaplin.

Hermione Norris.

Surranne Jones.


What more does the BBC need to prove it worthy?!


Please sign this petition and share with your friends and family and urge them to do the same. THANK YOU!


Missed it on TV? That's okay. You can buy the DVD online athttp://www.acorndvd.com/the-crimson-field.html!

As a history buff, I truly enjoyed this series and enjoyed seeing it from a different perspective. Please allow there to be a continuation of this series until 2018. What a wonderful way it would be to honor those who served in the Great War.

Please bring this show back. I just had the opportunity to watch season 1 and there are not that many quality shows out there that include history. I am a nurse and mother of 3 and felt like it was a great way to learn history while also enjoying the show.

please continue this incredible program.We need programs thatshow the futility of war and the people who are brave enough to fight anyway.These stories are so moving and inspiring. It humanizes the military and the medical profession as well.

Ineresting Story lines, great cast within a very important historical background, both in context of a totaly unnecessary war as well as it's impact on social behavior. Besides, would like to see what happens to Kitty, Tom, Joan and other characters.

This is a elegantly written and performed series about a horrible time in history. A view of life behind the frontlines which unlike the US show M*A*S*H does not respond to the horror in laughter, but rather highlights the struggles of the time.

Not only was this a fantastic show with an amazing cast it told a really important story about the role of women in WWI that is so often overlooked. The impact the show had led me to want to find out more about these amazing VADs and their stories.
