Warship

Sparklefizz
Absolutely loved it. My whole life has been involved with the sea. Isn't she wonderful
I loved the scene where the short/little Turkish pilot had to come aboard in the Bosporus and she put him well and truly in his place.
Also knowing that the Russian warship wouldn't stand a chance if push came to shove

petra Me too! (I loved that scene). She was so calm and authoritative. And also during the "man overboard" scare, and of course the Russians.

I enjoyed it so much that I might watch it a 2nd time as it was such a positive programme (even though the Russians are a scary bunch)

My DSiL is second in command on Duncan's sister ship so we're obviously enjoying this.

Impressed by the high proportion of women. A far cry from WW2 days when girls often joined the WRENS because they wore the smartest hats!

merlotgran Well done to him .... You must be very proud!

Oh where is it? I watched the last series and loved it- Dad and Brother were in Royal Navy so very interested.

The Wrens in WW11 were amazing. Ever been to Bletchley Merlot? What those women did for the war effort was beyond wonderful. I was a Wren in the 70s. Nothing like the WW11 Wrens. (Only there for the runs ashore.)

Yes I have been to Bletchley Park, Alima. Well worth a visit for anyone interested in the work that went on there.

I can see why young women today are attracted to a life in the Navy. Wonderful opportunities exist in the services now. It must have changed a lot since you were a Wren in the seventies.

Bursting with pride again after watching this week's episode! This is a good counter-balance to all the news about the "B-word" which I'm sure you're all as fed up with as I am!

Where will I find this programme please ?

Thanks for the heads up on this programme. We watched the first instalment on catch up , and it was brilliant. We’ve set up to record the rest of the series.

NanKate It's on Channel 5 on Monday evenings.

Really enjoying this programme. Lots of characters and a real insight into our military.

Thanks Sparkle I shall nip to catch up.

Who was it said there was nothing to watch on channel 5.

Thanks for the recommendation for this excellent series, it is proving to be to notch viewing ?
