My TV guide for this evening (Monday 5th November) states that the program on at 1930hrs on BBCFour is �Regimental Stories� in which �The Royal Welsh Regiment celebrate the Battle of Rorke�s Drift�. I think it�s been on before but might be worth checking out.

I think it was from a couple of years ago, there was an unintentional bit of humour with a soldier in full dress uniform being knocked down by the mascot if I recall right

Factually it was reasonably accurate with a few corners cut. Newcomers would learn a lot from it though.
I don't think narrator was the best man for the job.

Just as many visitors to the forum will point out that the 24th at the time of the Anglo-Zulu War was correctly titled '2nd Warwickshire'. The modern regiment is 'The Royal Welsh' and certainly not the Royal Welsh Regiment.
