Hmm. The 8pm repeat allows time to get a large plate of sandwiches and big mug of tea ready.

Watching it at the moment, could have been made a good programme if it wasn't stuffed full of channel 5's computer graphics & speeded up photography. I can't stand that, I think they think it's clever, I think it's terrible.

Ive been through there a couple of times, when i were a young boy sailing the 7 seas, quite an experience!

Did they show the huge cracks that appeared in one of the new lock sills a while back? Shonky concrete quality and an expensive bit of rework needed.
