The Ark Royal was sunk by a German torpedo in WWII and lost for over 60 years. After three years of searching, the aircraft carrier has been found and veterans who served on her will be the first to see the wreck a kilometre below the surface of the Mediterranean. They recall the events that led to the Ark achieving legendary status – the deadly convoys to Malta, and the sinking of the Bismarck when planes from Ark Royal crippled the German battleship.

Only problem is if you intend to watch it at 9pm you’ll just catch the closing credits. I think you’ll find its 8pm. At least it is in the London area.
