A really interesting show, enhanced my respect for the SS team. Would be nice to see a similar one on Princess. And if you're interested in Black Legend, we featured it in the Sept 2015 edition: http://marinedirectory.ybw.com/reprints/results_related.jsp?tem=ybw&id=90260

There's another clip here if you can't wait til 9pm: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03qq2p4 Anyone ever come across a "heated toilet seat with massage function" before?
