Channel 4's Trafalgar Below Decks Season
There's an article here if you missed this fairly predictable view on life in Nelson's navy. Mostly filmed at Hartlepool's Trincomalee the focus was on things like 'the ships smelled unpleasant' and 'the sailors had intimacies' on ship. Not a revelation. Best bits for me were the shots of the French sharpshooter - I wish they'd use that term in preference to 'sniper'.
