Reg
Based on true-life events, this 90-minute, Jimmy McGovern drama is a moving portrayal of grieving parents - Reg and Sally - whose son, L/Cpl Tom Keys was one of six military policemen killed by a mob in the Southern Iraqi, Shia city of Majar-al-Kabir in June 2003.
Convinced - as many were at the time - that 's Armed Forces had been led into the Iraq War under false pretences ... Reg forms a pressure group, 'Military Families Against War' - opposed to the conflict - and decides to stand against the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair in his home constituency of Sedgefield during the 2005 General Election.

Now ... ... of course, we all know that Bliar was re~elected. But, notwithstanding the outcome, this hard~hitting drama is testament to one father's dogged determination to seek justice on his son's behalf!Last edited by Arthur Little; 7th June 2016 at 00:28.

Thanks, Steve ... I watched it myself - very poignant, yet absorbing piece of film - and well~acted, too. Definitely worth catching up on iplayer!
... although, with my being hard of hearing, it was better seeing it on television ... due to the lack of subtitles on iplayer.
