Filming has begun on the next series of BBC One's hit drama Our Girl.
The show's star, former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan, returned to South Africa this week to begin filming for the fourth series.
Set a year after No. 2 Squad's deployment to Bangladesh in the third series, the next six-part series will see newly promoted Sergeant George Lane training new medics.

As the series begins, she is living with her family in Manchester, happy in her job and has no plans to deploy to Afghanistan with her friends from Section 2.
But after a near-fatal accident during a night out, she becomes convinced that the real reason she doesn't want to go is because she is still reeling from the horror and grief of losing her love, Elvis, in a Taliban attack.
Determined to face her fears, Georgia returns to Afghanistan.
This time around, the series will feature a host of new faces, including Nico Mirallegro (My Mad Fat Diary), Cain Zajaz (The Informer), Will Attenborough (Midwinter of the Spirit), Amy-Leigh Hickman (EastEnders), Nabil El Ahabi (EastEnders), Josh Bowman (Revenge), Badria Timini (Unforgotten) and Nebulus Jamali (The Rooming Tower).
Returning characters in series four include King (Laurent Bel), Spanner (Mark Armstrong), Blue (Ben Batt), Monk (Sean Sager), Jackson (Jack Parry-Jones) and Fingers (Sean Ward).
Yes, you may have noticed a key character missing from that list…it appears that Ben Aldridge, who has played Captain James since the beginning, is gone.
Michelle Keegan said in a statement released by the BBC: “I am delighted to be reprising my role as Georgie Lane and this season sees me return to Afghanistan where British troops are training members of the Afghan National Army.”
“Containing some of the best, most impactful writing I've ever read, this six-part saga will captivate both our loyal fanbase and new audiences.”
Tony Grounds, writer and creator of Our Girl, said: “It’s fantastic to once again have Section 2 return to Afghanistan and help train and mentor the Afghan National Army.
“Our platoon features some of the most talented young actors of the next generation. Sergeant George Lane, played by Michelle Keegan, is an inspiration to us all and it is a pleasure and honour to be working with such a troupe.”
Hilary Salmon, executive producer for BBC Studios, said: “Actors Nico Mirallegro, Amy-Leigh Hickman, Kane Zajaz and Will Attenborough have successfully completed boot camp and are looking forward to the rigorous filming ahead.”
“They could not have asked for a better role model than leading actress Michelle Keegan, whose professionalism is as great as her talent.”
