The drama is adapted from the non-fiction novel "Jambusters" and tells a true story: during World War II, a group of women living in the remote areas of Cheshire, England, came together to weather the hardships. When their community lost contact with the outside world, they had to mobilize all resources to help their community. They were a microcosm of the home front during the war. Samantha Bond, from "Downton Abbey," and Francesca Annis, from "Cranford," will star in this six-part historical drama, with performances by Mark Bonnar, Ruth Gemmell, Claire Rushbrook, Mark Bazeley, Frances Grey, and Ed Stoppard. The title "home fires" comes from the phrase "keeping the home fires burning," which means managing the household and maintaining normal life.
