The Falklands Collection: Tumbledown / The Falklands Play
1982: After Argentinean troops take control of the Falkland Islands, the British task force set sail. This set features two stellar dramatizations of events during this conflict. 'Tumbledown' (1988): Attracting an incredible 10.5 million viewers when it aired in the UK, this is the tale of Robert Lawrence (Colin Firth), a young officer recuperating from a near-fatal wound in the battle for Tumbledown. Back home he discovers a nation that is honouring the heroes, but is less keen to face the living victims. 'The Falklands Play' (2002): A gripping account of how Margaret Thatcher (Patricia Hodge) and her government faced the biggest crisis in foreign affairs for a generation.
