I did watch it last night, and enjoyed it.

The title / subtitle format implies that this was one of a series - any idea if there are others available?

This was originally broadcast in 2010 so you may be able to find the other episodes out on the web somewhere. Episode 2 is due to be broadcasted on the 26th @ 20:00 on BBC4 and will be on iPlayer shortly after.

Ah, ok, if it's a series being re-shown then I'll watch it as it comes out

The BBC - before the Play School / Magic Roundabout team made documentaries - did a really good series on Radio 4 a few years ago, ' The British Seafarer'; with audio & press clips from people actually involved, in the style of the also excellent later 'Lost Voices of...' books.

If you get the chance of the British Seafarer book, go for it, hard men indeed Chrusty !
