Apologies for the very short notice,but I only just noticed this one…
Ch4,9pm,Dec 17th:”The Battle of Hood and Bismarck:Mighty Hood’-This is about the sinking of the battleship HMS Hood by the Bismarck in 1941,and also the search for the wreck of the vessel earlier this year.There was a similar programme shown a few months ago,but this one seems to be far more concise and extensive.
On Tuesday Dec 18th also at 9pm,there is the follow-on part of the documentary called”Battle of Hood and Bismarck:Sink the Bismarck!”.
This tells the story of her sinking and also of the visit made to the wreck by the team who discovered the Hood.
Should be worth a look…

RE: On the Telly TONIGHT…
i knwo a bit about battleships and got pissied off with the programme. as far as i could see they went into hte fact that he hood was a battleship whil infact it was a battlecrusier which meant that it has more speed at the cost of armour. they neglected this crucial bit of info which made the sinking look like some sort of ##### up, when in fact an old battle ccruiser was being used as a battleship against one of the newest battleships in the world.
