Zulu: the True Story

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The Battle of Rorke's Drift is routinely presented as a significant British victory of the Zulu wars. Yet on the same day, at the nearby Battle of Isandlwana, heavily equipped British troops were crushed by Zulu warriors bearing little more than spears. Battle re-enactments shot on location and dramatisation of Queen Victoria's journals-starring Joanna David , Christopher Cazenove and David Swift - explore one of the most effective cover-ups in British military history for Timewatch.
Director Tim Robinson ; Series editor John Farren (AD) The new series of Timewatch opens with Who Killed Rasputin? on Friday at 9pm
