The Falklands Play Row
Directed by Sally Thomson2002 29m
In 1987, five years after the Falklands War, writer Ian Curteis wrote a play about the events leading up to and during the war. However the BBC refused to film it until 2002 when changes were made to it. The popular explanation is that Curteis's play was pro-Thatcher at a time when the BBC was accused of being "leftist". This documentary, produced to coincide with the broadcast of the play, examines the reasons for the political row surrounding it.
