The first images for Dope Girls<\/a>, the new six-part BBC series which has been described as a \u201cspiritual successor\u201d to\u00a0 Peaky Blinders<\/a>, have been released, giving viewers a sense of what to expect from the drama.<\/p>\n

The series is set in Soho in 1918, and the synopsis says that it \u201cdepicts in visceral, delicious detail the birth of the modern nightlife industry, guided and gilded by hard fought female endeavour\u201d.<\/p>\n

The synopsis adds: \u201cIt is the end of World War One. As Britain celebrates the Armistice on the streets of London, men return from the front expecting to rejoin society and pick up where they left off \u2013 but a newly empowered generation of women are loath to simply return to the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing Soho\u2019s expanding illicit underground clubland scene as their playground, women explore previously unimaginable opportunities on either side of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
