Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

3rd April 1982, South Georgia, South Atlantic. The Falklands War wasn’t just about the Falkland Islands. There’s another British Overseas Territory a thousand miles away which has its own story to tell about that particular conflict… And who better to tell it than Keith Mills, then a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines, who at just 22 years old was sent to the tiny island of South Georgia to sort out a problem with some Argentinian scrap metal workers. What started out as a diplomatic incident soon became a full Argentinian assault and Keith was forced to lead his detachment of 22 commandos in a battle that was impossible to win. Darren Coventry talks to Keith about the difficult decisions he made that day, along with former Royal Marines Bob Ashton and Steve Holding who witnessed the bravery that would lead to him receiving the Distinguished Service Cross. Contributors: Keith Mills DSC Bob Ashton Steve Holding With thanks to Falklands Radio for the use of their archive recording of Governor Rex Hunt. Credits: Presented by Darren Coventry Written and produced by Josella Waldron and Simon Thornton Edited by Andy Prada Sound Design by Mark Pittam Original Music by Will Farmer Executive Producer Alex Griffiths
