The Great Liners

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of three programmes: 2
The 20s and 30s saw ever-increasing ocean travel. The Bremen took the Blue Riband on her maiden voyage in 1929 and Germany re-emerged as a strong challenger on the North Atlantic. The French replied with the Normandie and Britain shrugged off the Depression with the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary.
Robert Wall continues the story of the liners and those who sailed on them until 1939 when the sinking of the French liner Paris was a grim omen of things to come.
(First shown on BBC South) (Part 3 tomorrow at 7.50 pm)
