BBC 2

Looks to be finished now but on iPlayer. Watched a bit of the first one last night, interesting!

Gutted! Explored this for you and found out it's only 3 parts. It was BBC2, Sundays 8-9pm but now have to catch it on IPlayer.

I enjoyed it surprisingly was very open about problems they had on sea trials and didn't try to hide them away as 'this is the best carrier ever made and will have 0 problems'

Looked like a pleasure cruise, baffling what on Earth we’re wasting money on!

Coco pops, karaoke and messing about testing the fire suppression foam (whilst simultaneously not knowing what it was for). Good stuff.

I suspect that is partly due to the difficulty recruiting for the navy, etc. these days - they have to give em a decent level of accommodation (not that they shouldn't have a reasonable level or anything) or they struggle with manpower.

was pretty good this, it's some machine that
would be nice to have a followup series when they get planes on it!

Will have to give this a watch, always been fascinated by carriers etc. - looks like a serious bit of kit.

If you Google it now, you'll see it's on active duty - with planes on. I don't think they're able to share any further information once in service - secrets and all, but I'll definitely watch the series again and wished they'd made more programmes.
