I'd thought, as it was thirty years to the day, that at least one of the five channels would have something on about the invasion of the Falklands, there has been nothing, just the usual crap. Why is this?
I remember a TV drama called An Ungentlemanly Act, an amusing tale on thhe first day of the invasion which would have been good enough to have been broadcasted.
Too late the moments passed now!! stupid TV bosses
There was a documentary about the Falklands War on BBC2 yesterday evening and throughout today I've seen the BBC and ITN reporting on the current tensions with Argentina and memorial services etc.
There was also a great 9pm documentary broadcast on Tuesday 20 March on ITV1, "Return to the Falklands", featuring - among others - Simon Weston and former ITN reporter Michael Nicholson.
There was a fairly major documentary on the other night on Channel 4 about the bombing raid Black Buck I which involved the Victor tankers and Vulcan bomber XM607 based on the book Vulcan 607.
If you think of it as a season, rather than as one particular day, then there are programmes out there "commemorating" the event.
There's also been plenty of coverage on BBC News and, I daresay, Sky News too.
The thing is, it's a Monday, people can't be arsed to have their normal viewing habits; especially as there's a Man Utd football match on as well. As you get towards midweek, the weekend and especially Sunday night, that's when the one-off programmes tend to be placed.
