Someone has finally been reposting episodes from the amazing BBC documentary series, The Great War from 1964. If you're interested in World War 1, this is probably the definite documentary series on the subject, in 25 parts, and old enough to feature lots of firsthand accounts.

Could anyone please recommend a good sailing documentary? I've always had a thing for the idea of taking a tiny boat out against all the elements and I recently watched http://www.channel4.com/programmes/schoolboy-who-sailed-the-world/4od (may not work for those outside the UK) and it was awesome.

I've searched for them but they're really hokey "my local river" type poo poo. Something as awesome as sailing around the world must have some good docs attached but I can't find them.

ps, watch that above mentioned doc. That kid is great and should probably kill his father because he's a projecting worthless rear end in a top hat who inadvertently gave his son the most exhilarating and DANGEROUS rite-of-passage any kid should get to satisfy himself.

I want to say it was the BBC who produced a show a few years ago where a crew of sailors do a transatlantic crossing on a 18th century man-of-war. Can't remember the name of the show.

e: it was called The Ship
