The article published on the website of the newspaper "The Guardian" on April 14, 2013 is headlined "Falklands on film: how broadcasters have handled Margaret Thatcher's war" by Mark Lawson. The article reports at BBC and ITV enraged the government with early portrayals of the conflict but it is being supplanted by recent conflicts. 
The author writes that British TV deployed rapidly – and with frequent controversy – to attack the Falklands war as a subject.
Speaking of this situation it is necessary to note that The BBC screened five plays within five years of the events, which may surprise those who now associate the corporation with editorial caution and at the time clearly astonished the Ministry of Defence, which made numerous objections and obstructed access to actual locations and equipment.
It’s important to point out that the earliest pieces were oblique, with Don Shaw's The Falklands Factor dramatising an 18th-century dispute over the islands, and Maggie Wadey's The Waiting War focusing on military and naval families.
In spite of this fact,  it is necessary to note that around the time of the fifth anniversary, television fiction became the major battleground over how Thatcher's crusade should be recorded by broadcasters.
It’s important to point out that some journalists were privately briefed that the play was of inferior quality, Curteis believes that executives were unhappy with his sympathetic portrayal of Margaret Thatcher; and certainly his script is alone among the Falklands dramas in not presenting the conflict as a savage and pointless colonial overhang.
The author writes that however the most powerful representation of the human consequences of the conflict on the British side remains Tumbledown (1988, BBC1), written by Charles Wood and directed by Richard Eyre, based on the experiences during and after the conflict of the seriously injured Scots Guards officer Robert Lawrence. 

It is necessary to emphasize that Tumbledown, in common with Paul Greengrass's cinema film Resurrected (1989), raised the figure of the Falklands veteran who feels ignored by postwar society as a conscious parallel to US movies about Vietnam vets. 

It’s important to note that McGovern, in his last two series, The Street and Accused, has used vets from the Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns, while Ian Rankin's DI John Rebus, played on TV by John Hannah and Ken Stott, also saw military service in Belfast.
The article draws a conclusion that Thatcher's war now mainly gets a show in epic dramas following characters through recent British decades, such as Peter Flannery's Our Friends in the North (1996, BBC1) and Paula Milne's White Heat (2012, BBC2), both of which have an episode that reflects the influence on British politics of the response to Argentina.
As for me, I would like to say that The Falklands has, though, largely disappeared as a back-story in drama – mainly because the UK has been involved in many other, more lengthily resonant conflicts.
