Line 86:
* On ''[[Yes Minister]]'' in the episode "The Bed of Nails", Jim Hacker opines that, if he takes on the traffic problem in Britain, "...if I succeed, this could be my Falkland Islands" -- to which Sir Humphrey replies, "And you could be General Galtieri."
* In the final episode of ''[[The New Statesman]]'', Alan B'Stard arranges to have a porn director stage a fake French invasion of the Falklands in order to trigger a war that will a) drive the value of his shares through the roof, b) secure an election victory for his new party, and c) let him declare himself Lord High Protector and effectively take over Britain for life.
* ''[[Top Gear]]'' has a special that has the British hosts try to get to Argentina by traveling down South America. In an [[Off the Rails|unscripted]] bit this ends poorly and the trip is cut short by rioters triggered one of the vehicles having a (random, non-vanity) plate that read "H982 FKL".
