Charlotte Bellamy, better known for playing much-loved Laurel Thomas, heads to Esholt - the village that inspired Emmerdale - to uncover a story of love and loss that played out at the real Woolpack pub during the Great War. Charlotte pieces together the heart-breaking story of the 22-year-old son of the landlord, Joshua Booth.
Zoe Henry, better known as Emmerdale vet Rhona Goskirk, uncovers the astonishing story of a local Yorkshire vet whose life was transformed by the Great War.
Natalie J Robb, who plays feisty farmer Moira Dingle, sets off on the trail of a remarkable Yorkshire city girl who led the way in Britain's very first women's land army: 19-year-old Clara Bill. Natalie, who has little experience as a real farmer, suddenly finds herself shearing sheep, ploughing the land and visiting a working forge as she uncovers the incredible story of a precocious young woman who seized this unprecedented chance at independence.
Bhasker Patel, who plays onscreen factory owner Rishi Sharma, follows the dramatic story of Alfred Martlew - a young clerk at Rowntree's chocolate factory in York, who faced a huge moral dilemma during the First World War. Alfred was just 19 years-old and recently engaged when war broke out, but whilst the factory workers around him signed up in droves to do their bit, Alfred refused. Instead, he became a controversial conscientious objector. Bhasker's emotional journey takes him from the streets of York to medieval Richmond castle and over the channel to the battlefields of Northern France. Here, Alfred was faced with the biggest decision of his entire life: would he ignore his morals and join the army, or stick to his principals and face the firing squad?
Marking 100 years since the end of the First World War, Emmerdale's Mark Charnock, Charlotte Bellamy, Zoe Henry, Natalie J Robb and Bhasker Patel all pull together for the grand finale, throwing open the doors of the famed Yorkshire set to host a unique Great War centenary street party.
