Vigil 09:27 - Aug 30 with 842 views | Sadoldgit | No, not a biopic about VVD but a cracking new BBC Sunday night drama set on a nuclear sub. Watch it. You won’t be disappointed. [Post edited 30 Aug 2021 10:51]

Wasn't that one of them lying dead in the road at the start. WhyTF did she not just carry on and drive over her!! | | | |
Virgil on 10:35 - Aug 30 with 768 views | 1885_SFC | It's Vigil - not Virgil. My father served on subs for 29-years - including nuclear subs. I spent the day on some of his nuclear subs when I was younger... HMS Warspite, HMS Courageous, and when I was in Naples working on HMS Bulwark, I had a 'call round' (piss up) on the nuclear sub HMS Superb. I didn't see hardly anything in last night's new BBC drama series that resembled a Royal Navy nuclear submarine! I'm guessing the MoD were reluctant to give the production company any hints or tips on Britain's latest nuclear fleet of boats!!! | |

There was an article in yesterday's paper about the "set" for the programme in as much as they had no help (understandably!) from the MOD/Navy and what we saw was based on Hollywood There were a couple of ex sub-mariners as advisers in as much as when the set designer had done a few drawings and asked if "stairs were like that?" or similar the advice they gave was a simple yes or no! But does accuracy of the layout really matter? It was pretty good drama and I'd like to think totally ficticious as it didn't exactly paint a very good image of the Navy, But no doubt more will be unravelled as it goes on | | | |

I'm surprised the TV production company didn't contact the Russians for our nuclear sub layout plans. I'm pretty sure they have up-to-date drawings. | |
