- Synopsis:
In 1976 BBC camera crews were invited on board Britain's best-loved warship, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, to record what was intended to be her last voyage. As the Ark Royal sailed for America, the cameras captured a unique record of daily life on board for the officers and ratings, as well as the workings of an operational aircraft carrier with a full complement of fighter and bomber aircraft and helicopters. 'Sailor' remains one of the best series ever made about the Royal Navy as well as providing a historic record of the passing of one of Britain's greatest fighting ships... This video also includes the BBC follow-up programme - 'Sailor - Eight Years On' - revealing the sad fate of the now decrepit Ark Royal in dock and going in search of its crew members to discover how their lives have changed... - Directors:
