NOEL COWARD 'S wartime tribute to the Royal Navy - the stirring story of HMS Torrin and those who served in her.
The film, inspired by the real-life exploits of the destroyer HMS Kelly, commanded by Lord Louis Mountbatten , is very much a Coward tour-deforce, but was also the directorial debut of DAVID LEAN , then a distinguished film editor.

Two Tales of Endeavour
Britain has never been closer to winning the America's Cup.
In 1934 Sir Thomas Sopwith won the first two races; his yacht was Endeavour.
In 1978 John Amos , sailing enthusiast and boat restorer, bought a rusted, forgotten and half-flooded hulk lying in the mud up-river from Cowes. Sopwith's tale is told with archive film of some of the largest racing yachts ever built. John Amos 's story is a single-handed struggle against overwhelming odds. Both are true sagas of Endeavour.

Patrick Leigh Fermor's life has been anything but dull. At 20 he walked across Europe to Istanbul, an adventure which led indirectly to his wartime exploit of kidnapping the German general commanding Crete, celebrated in the film Ill Met by Moonlight.
But above all he writes magnificent prose, is a famous raconteur, and has just, aged 70, followed A Time of Gifts with a new volume of autobiography - From the Woods to the Water.
Today, he talks to a lifelong friend, John Julius Norwich.
