Operation Buffalo

SUNDAY, 8.30PM, ABC

Set in Maralinga, South

Australia, at the height of the Cold War, this bigbudget darkly comic series starring Ewen Leslie and Jessica De Gouw is based on true events, at a time when the British carried out nuclear testing at a remote army base in the late ’50s. While bombs are certainly part of the story, the intricately woven tale of loyalty, love and betrayal will not only captivate war film buffs but those who pine for a good old-fashioned love story.
