Unfortunately, it won't play for us in the States. I tried a couple of other sites, but all to no avail.

Was the show good?

Sam Willis was involved so it ought to be good. I've downloaded it and will watch it later

Thank you for the idea, Chris. I have found that the programme itself is available on Youtube.

Great documentary.
Shows a totally different perspective on Naval life and death.
Also the ships log gives some very good examples of typical British names for the period. May be of use in AARs of the future.
Thanks for pointing the way to this gentlemen.
Rob.
