Has anyone seen this programme on BBC 4? It was shown yesterday evening but is a repeat. Very interesting.

BTW I forgot to say...I now know where the new QM2 got the idea for those horrible swirly carpets. They were similar in the old QM2 during the Art Deco era:)

Unfortunately, We, in the U.S., can't receive this programming according to the BBC. Too bad, it appears very interesting.

You can watch by hiding your IP address. If you google you can find a way.

Hi, Thank you I really enjoyed that, I had heard many of the stories while on QM2 but it's nice to hear them again.

Found it via Google search on You Tube. On You Tube, just enter Timeshift: The Golden Age of Ocean Liners (BBC) in the search box and it should be the first result you get from You Tube.

Glad some of you managed to get it. I didn't realise it was only available in the UK.

Thanks for the YouTube info. I am so technologically challenged I was afraid if I tried to hide my IP my computer might self destruct!

Thank you posting this! What a delightful program. It's on my favorites list.

Even better is The Liners made in 1997. Four part series. It's on YouTube. Cannot buy the DVD or VHS and it won't be put on sale ever again. Best documentary ever made.

Nah! That wouldn't happen. The biggest problem hiding your IP is that you may not be able to find it again :p

It took me a while to find it, but here is the You Tube Link.

 

 

It is in 16 parts and takes a while to get through--I'm paused at part 8 but it is absolutely fascinating and well worth the time to see. On my You Tube it advances from part to part.

 

Thanks to Austcruiser84 for pointing the direction to this show.

Just watched it on YouTube. Brilliant show, wish it were longer. Gets me super excited for my first passage on the QM2 this summer!

Once again, thanks for the link. I stayed up until 2 a.m. this morning to finish watching it.

It is nice to know that there are other fanatics out there. My partner said if I really put my mind to it, I could become another Bill Miller and thereby spend a lot more time on the ships I love. I don't think that is going to happen, but it would be nice.
