Long regarded as ‘The Lady of the lamp’, this powerful BBC full costume drama released on DVD by UK leading mail order specialist Simply Home Entertainment tells the story of one of Britain’s greatest heroines, in her own words.

Best remembered for her work as a nurse in the Crimean War, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE focuses on her return from the hospital in Scutari where she fought tirelessly for an investigation into the war – only to discover that her own shortcomings had led to the deaths of many of those she and her fellow nurses cared for. The impact was devastating and would prove to break her in both body and mind.

Sharp, fresh and controversial, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE brings to life not only a compassionate and valiant lady but also a look into the darker side of the spiritual and emotional breakdown she endured returning from the horrors of the Crimean War.

Featuring a distinguished supporting cast Roy Hudd, Michael Pennington, Barbara Marten, Andrew Harrison, Ian Bartholomew and Catherine Tyldesley, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE receives its first DVD release by Simply Home Entertainment.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE is available now, priced £9.99, or direct from Simply Home Entertainment, priced £9.99
