Sailor

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A frank account in ten parts of life on the ocean wave in one of her Majesty's ships - in the current season of Fly on the Wall documentaries. 5: Puerto Rican Banyan
No beach party is better organised and more fun than a Navy banyan.
But the ship's chaplain has no illusions that after five strenuous weeks at sea, the run ashore to San Juan will result in lapses from grace that will eclipse the boisterousness of a beach party.
With a tolerance that only a navy chaplain can have, this man of the cloth says: 'It's just a fact I accept. We're all frail human beings. What cheers me is the sailor's honesty with himself.'
