The Waiting War

on BBC Two England

written by MAGGIE WADEY
Anne, Karen and Judy have a common bond-their husbands are aboard HMS Sheffield, heading for the Falklands. Though their daily routine with children and home continues as normal, inevitably, as the crisis worsens so too do their innermost fears. When the unthinkable happens and Sheffield is hit, the ordeal back home, waiting for news, is one no one predicted.
