To the sound of pinging sonar, Robert Llewellyn ups periscope to discover why submarine movies have gripped us for over a century.

Might be interesting, in an entertaining sort of way; his programs indulging in engineering stuff were fun.

What have we now done?! Blacklisted?

"Not available in your area" is all I'm allowed to see...

It's more about what you haven't done. Namely, you don't pay the mandatory TV license fee that Britons do. Some people would envy you on that

erhmm... I pay for BBC W, BBC E, BBC L, BBC K and BBC HD

And don't get me started on mandatory license fee

I sincerely doubt the brits are paying more than we poor danes do...
My bill is £1100 a year for TV and Internet... beat that!

Btw. BBC Knowledge is running a serie right now called "Secrets of World War II" - chapter 18 and 19 is on in half an hour. Worth every penny.

Oops! OT again...

I can't watch this because I don't pay a British TV tax!? That does it. I'm dumping the next boatload of British TVs I see into Boston harbor.

It was broadcast last year as part of BBC Four's season on the sea, but good to see again.

Feel free, the last British TV producer closed it's factory about 18 months ago, and that was Sanyo UK - so it's all Japanese parts nominally put together in Britain.

Edit: Apparently there is one more, Cello Electronics, never heard of them
