TV UK 21:00 BBC2 Friday 5th January - Timewatch: The Hunt for U-864
Heads up for the UK
From the Radio Times "A new series of BBC2's history strand begins with a tense tale of submarine warfare. Timewatch has a thing about submarines, but then again, this story is arguably a bit special - the only time in naval warfare that two submarines have duelled to the death underwater. It was February 1945 off the coast of Norway when HMS Venturer managed, by some brilliant manoeuvres, to hunt down and torpedo the German U-boat U864. Sweaty reconstructions capture the atmosphere of the duel ("Commander, port side! Another torpedo!"), while in the present day a salvage team sends cameras down to the whiskery wreck."

Brilliant.
 Thanks for the notice. I'll program it in my Sky box when I get home tonight.
