Unfortunately, it won't play for us in the States. I tried a couple of other sites, but all to no avail.Quote:

Sorry,
but not able to see it in Germany. It`s for British only..
The BBC are broadcasting "Nelson's Caribbean Hell-hole" again on Monday 27th July at 8 p.m. and again on 28th July at 1.30 a.m. on the BBC FOUR channel (Freeview channel 9). It deals with the discovery of a mass grave of sailors found in Antigua. It is presented by Sam Willis.
Thank you for the idea, Chris. I have found that the programme itself is available on Youtube.

Great documentary.
Shows a totally different perspective on Naval life and death.
Also the ships log gives some very good examples of typical British names for the period. May be of use in AARs of the future.
Thanks for pointing the way to this gentlemen.
Rob.
