Remember the Falklands invasion? Me neither I remember the conflict, war or whatever you want to call it, but ever wondered how it all started? This BBC dramatisation, I think, not only accurately tells the story but also does so in an entertaining and totally believable way. The main characters are acted superbly and the firefights are very realistic. If like me you think the T.V. Licence fee is a bit of a rip-off, you need to watch this, to see at least where some of that money goes.
This film lives up to the compliments of the other reviewers, the drama has a convincing and realistic tone. The problem is with the DVD itself, the image quality if very blurry and poor, it has obviously been transferred from a VHS release which is difficult to understand since the original film must be around somewhere. When you have to squint and can't see any details in the picture this is a real disappointment
