Tumbledown

Synopsis

A BBC drama based on the experiences of the Royal Scots Guard Lieutenant, Robert Lawrence, covering his military training, the fateful action he saw in the Falklands conflict and the aftermath of the terrible injuries which he sustained. Produced in 1989, a mere seven years after the Falklands War, TUMBLEDOWN was extremely controversial at the time of transmission although it was well-received.
