From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the 2000s BBC series starring Tamzin Outhwaite. For the 1960s ITV series starring John Thaw, see Redcap (TV series).

Red Cap is a British television series produced by Stormy Pictures for the BBC and broadcast on BBC One. Two series of 6 episodes each were produced following a feature length pilot. It featured the investigations (and personal releationships) of an SIB unit of the British Army based in Germany. Ostensibly the lead character was Sergeant Jo McDonagh (nicknname; McDoughnut), played by Tamzin Outhwaite, but the show was more of an ensemble piece, with several notable characters coming to prominence. The music for Series II was written by BAFTA nominated TV & film music composer Sheridan Tongue.
