hi macauley8, I met them as well, the main guy was apparently a very well known doco maker in france. I kept his name ut just went to find it and dont have it any more. I knew it was going to be shown in france ut they didnt mention english tv, hope it ends up on utube or an internet doco file they were everywhere and it would be an interesting program.

ps...was a great trip wasnt it...

Hi Roscoe,

yes we had a wonderful trip with so many interesting ports of call not to mention the transiting Panama Canal.

We had a great day in Auckland with the afternoon spent in Devonport and a quick visit to the Irish pub on the waterfront before boarding for Wellington.

Cheers

The "Queen" stayed on to the end. She seemed to calm down a lot. We reckon somebody had a strong word with her or put her on some "calm down pills" !!

well one of the reasons for travelling cunard is the characters you find on board.....she certainly contributed to the entertainment if you were fortunate enough to only be a viewer and not aa particiapant...:eek:

I have found the email of the film crew. It is contact@night-day.fr . The programme may be called "The Adventures of a Gentleman Voyager. Hope that helps. Perhaps you could post if you find out when and where the series is to be shown on TV ? Best Wishes , Vicki.

Thanks for the information Vicki,I will let you know as soon as I have any news. Keith

After your reply Vicki I was able to unearth this web page re Simon Allix who was camerman on board and it would appear the Dcumentary will be on National Geographic channel early in 2013.Keith

Hi found the Doco that we were talking about, its on UTUBE now for anyone interested in getting a Cunard fix , there are five one hour episodes and cover the 117 world cruise of the QE in 2012.

Simon Alix gets below decks of the QE, into the engine room, chefs galleries and bridge, attends the world cruse parties and interviews various passengers crew and locals of the ports that the ship visits.

LInk to the first episode is here...

wonderful video! Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting that link. I watched one of the videos and it was great. I'll watch another one later....I'm sure it will be as interesting as the first one. :D

Thank you for the link, we've just watched the first programme & are looking forward to watching the other ones too.

I found the videos interesting. Could have been better if he had done more on the ship and how the passengers interact and form bonds.

Still wondering about the story mentioned earlier about some Queen issue??

Great video, Roscoe! Thanks for finding and posting it.

i suppose enough time has passed, there was a particular passenger and her husband who decided she was "Queen Cunard" and should be addressed as such. She often grabbed the mic and took over presentations until led away by embarrassed officials. There were numerous incidents including her completely removing her clothes in the winter garden one afternoon and changing into a "mumu" (I nearly lost my lunch) and other stories of her and her famous carpet-bag addressing performers on the stage as they were performing. Well known for her outrageous costumes and her penchant for balloons.

You had to be there...but she was pretty well known over the ship and was adept at clearing a room......

The producer of the documentary, Simon ALix was a particular subject for her attentions because he was filming and owned a camera, and I think she was stalking him at one stage.

Just your typical cunarder really.......

Hopefully it will get us in the mood Patti!

I don't think typical Cunarder's are Insane. (unless they stop their meds).

Thanks for the link to the first video. It was so nice to see QE again since we disembarked in March. The video is well done and informative. I will have to watch the others later as well.
