thought the programme was very good. A few things seemed a bit odd (like the alarm sound) but it did give you an idea of what it must have been like. The personnel interviewed came across well with both dignity and humanity.
You have to remember that this programme was filmed on a modern warship (T23 I think) and therefore the main broadcast alarm is different. There were many technical errors (such as many of the sailors filmed were OM's - a branch which didn't exist in 1982) but overall I agree with you,I think it was a superb film and just showed how strong leadership and sheer Naval determination can win the day.

BTW, do our modern 25 man liferafts still have pussers blue liners in them?
