All The King's Men

The BBC's all-star cast portray this most poignant and mysterious event of the First World War - the disappearance in action of the Sandringham Company at Gallipoli in 1915. Commanded by the Estate Manager, Captain Frank Beck (David Jason), they were just ordinary men - servants, grooms and gardeners - drawn from the staff of the King's private residence. They left an idyllic rural existence for the fatally ill-prepared campaign and their deaths brought the horrors of the First World War to the heart of the establishment - and to the Royal Family itself. After the war a Special Envoy was sent at the behest of Queen Alexandra (Maggie Smith) to discover what fate had befallen the Company. But the truth was never fully revealed...

    Watch the Documentary First!

    I don't usually suggest that people watch the documentary first when it comes to watching movies but this is an excellent documentary giving the background of the Sandringhams. The movie itself, though very good, tends to jump about a bit (for dramatic effect I guess) and I remember getting a bit lost when I watched on the TV! This is a facinating and sad story and one I believe everyone should watch!

    Highly recommended

    This very well acted story based upon true events fo the first world war is gripping and poignant. The extra feature which relates the real facts behind the story make this a very interesting DVD.
