Saturday Request: Alone on a Wide Wide Sea

on BBC Two England

A series of BBCtv programmes which viewers have particularly asked to see again.

Tonight: Murray Sayle's film of The Observer Singlehanded Yacht Race across the Atlantic, one of the longest, loneliest and toughest sailing contests in the world.
Last year's race attracted 59 entries from 11 countries. Murray Sayle, journalist-adventurer, commanded Lady of Fleet, a 41-foot ketch-rigged catamaran and brilliantly filmed his solo attempt to conquer the Atlantic.
