Tales from the Map Room

BBC Two

Series on the history of maps. On the Rocks. Sea charts are the theme of this last programme. The re-creations of historical scenes - which have given the series a theatrical feel - include map enthusiast Samuel Pepys in an imaginary interview for Desert Island Discs, and Captain Bligh claiming that Captain Cook took the credit for much of Bligh's own work. Producer Julian Stenhouse
