Just spotted this programme on tonight channel 5, 8pm ....looks quite interesting. All about History of Mersey , obviously featuring Cammell Lairds and in WW2 produce a new warship every three weeks.

I watched it last night - quite good, if rather superficial. But while banging on about all the famous ships that were built on the Mersey, the narrator still couldn't bring himself to make clear that Laird's is in Birkenhead, not Liverpool. What is it with these broadcasters? Do they think we're too thick to deal with any name other than Liverpool?

Yes I watched it, looked like a patchwork of other previous programmes put together to pad the hour out, certainly the western approaches clips which was a stand alone programme, and the launching of Ark Royal and boaty Mc boatface all been shown before, a bit disappointing
