Dope Girls promises to reveal a world that has long been forgotten. The years after the First World War saw huge social upheaval, as men returning from the frontline got home to discover women who had spent the war years working no longer willing to go back to their old lives.

In this slick new six-part drama series, we meet the women forging the new underground scene in London's Soho and how their embrace of the criminal underworld created a scene that lasted for the best part of a century.

The series is based on Dope Girls: The Birth of the British Drug Underground by Marek Kohn, released in 1992. The show is a fictionalised account of the book.

Read on as we explain how to watch Dope Girls from anywhere in the world.
