Some classic moments in this new series featuring the Senior Service. Rating humour at its best viz:
Small fire extinguished quickly in engine room about an hour out of Plymouth.
Producer (serious voice) to NCO:"Fire...pretty serious on a ship?"
NCO: "Yes, fire's serious."
Rating in background: "Sinking's pretty bad too..."
However, top prize to the BBC for using Roy Mallard as a script editor. Some lines were classic. Cut to:
Evening on deck, several hours after the previous incident, Lynx approaching for the det ex Yeovilton:
Narrator (serious voice again): "So, with the
threat of fire now finally under control, the ship's Lynx approaches...".
LOL (at the BBC, not the RN)
