More of the appalling caricature characterisation of Margaret Thatcher.
The family scene with her making dinner was something more worthy of a Private Eye cartoon, Viz, Beano or the Dandy. Cringeworthy!
Mark Thatcher's rally adventure, which did not run concurrently with the Falkland crisis in reality, was used as a metaphor for comparing family relationships.
So, we were introduced to Andrew and Edward, as part of a "what are they all doing now" concept for the episode.
After the previous episode I did not want more of the Charles and Diana relationship, but the sulk by Diane behind a locked bedroom door needed something by way of explanation or context. Was Charles the bad guy by hammering on the door? I don't think so - his mother was visiting and Diana refused to be a host. Charles was frustrated, who wouldn't have been?
The whole episode had no flow and had the feel of being patched together.
Returning to Mrs. Thatcher, her persona during the Falklands was far and away removed from the almost manic character in this drama.
As an aside, did we really go to war over some patriotic scrap metal workers on South Georgia.
Why not let them have their day then send in some military personal to keep an eye on things when they had gone.
