TA, there was an excellent, in my view, drama based on the initial invasion and the naval party and governors fight around Stanley and govt house...by the BBC...

With much emphasis on Brit forces sense of humour and typical Brit stiff upper lip stuff from the governor which really I suppose he did display...

"Im not surrendering to any bloody Argies..."

small Naval pary in local drill hall...knowing invasion forces outnmumber them and thinking casualties would be high...."Time to earn our money"...

Dont know if BBC put it up for sale, but Ill try and find name and let you know..The action scenes are pretty good.
