''Wish Me Luck'' is a British television drama about the exploits of British women undercover agents during the Second World War. The series was made by London Weekend Television for the ITV network between 1987 and 1989 and created by Lavinia Warner and Jill Hyem, who had previously produced and written the BBC women prisoner of war series ''Tenko''. The series was filmed on location in England and France. ''Wish Me Luck'' is similar to ''Tenko'' and the 1970s BBC drama ''Secret Army'', in that it deals with strong female characters coping under extreme conditions in wartime. The organisation for which the series' women agents worked, the Outfit, was based on the real-life Special Operations Executive. Season 1 and 2 were based on the exploits of SOE agent Nancy Wake and much of the dialogue was copied from her autobiography ''The White Mouse''. The series also addressed social issues and divisions under wartime conditions. A great deal of attention was also paid to creating the social context of the operatives, the drama of their work, against the backdrop of an intensely detailed local "colour" in both wartime Britain and France. ==Principal cast and crew== The first series centerd around the exploits of two recruits: * Liz Grainger/Celeste Kate Buffery * Matty Firman/Aimee Suzanna Hamilton.
