The 'Sunday Premiere' strand opened with Alan Bleasdale's four part drama serial The Monocled Mutineer in the summer of 1986, which told the true story of WWI deserter Percy Toplis, and the two parter The Four Minute Mile in the final season in 1988. In many ways, The Monocled Mutineer set the template for the versatility in this series, which included several real-life tales.
