The Sunday Adventure Film: Charge of the Light Brigade

BBC One
on BBC One London

The first in a season of famous adventure stories. starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland with Patric Knowles, Henry Stephenson, Nigel Bruce
Hollywood's spectacular epic of life with the British 27th Lancers opens in India in 1850. How the gallant Major Geoffrey Vickers comes to take part in the famous battle charge of the Crimean War may bear little relation to historical events, but this large-scale production remains a classic adventure film and features perhaps the most famous of all screen charges.
