Captain of the QE2

on BBC Two England

When passengers on the QE2 met Captain Douglas Ridley they faced a Master who inspired as much respect as the great liner herself. Yet he came from a modest background in Newcastle, and really always wanted to become a quiet farmer in the Northumberland hills.
His story unfolds during a voyage made just before his ship was sent for service in the Falklands.
