Tonight on More4 (channel 18 here) at 20.00 "Falklands War: The Untold Story". Probably a repeat.

"Documentary examining the Falklands conflict 40 years on. The head of the SAS in the Falklands, Sir Michael Rose, speaks publicly for the first time about the war, and how the British task force came close to defeat. Plus, ground troops and senior commanders, many for the first time, reveal how an unexpected change in the plan for the land campaign nearly cost Britain the war, and led to unnecessary loss of life at the iconic Battle of Goose Green, and in the sinking of the Sir Galahad."
Best wishes
Bill

The real US Navy Top Gun fighter school is nothing like the movies.
