Shipwrecked!

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In 1978 a lone yachtsman sailing in a race from New Zealand to Australia was shipwrecked on Middleton Reef, called by some 'Australia's Bermuda Triangle'. Bill Belcher survived for 28 days in a tiny rubber life-raft.
This is a re-creation of the events surrounding his ordeal and also the story of his wife who fought bureaucracy to try and save him.
