The Telemovie was good with a few inaccuracies if it was an historical movie. The inaccuracies are pertinent to Changi itself but was not inaccurate to what the Japanese carried out in a general sense in many other places.

It was not called the "True" story of Changi.

It is available on DVD region 4 however not certain if it is available for region play in the UK.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
