    This was good but... I'm not sure how many people will be able to see it outside the UK

    How the Bismarck sank HMS Hood was transmitted at 8pm (GMT) on Sunday (9th) on Channel 4 in the UK. It can be watched again on 4OD :-

    How the Bismarck Sank HMS Hood - Channel 4

    It may be that those outside the UK have to find another route in to watch it.

    The expedition was launched from Octopus and, although the focus was on Bismarck and Hood, there are a lot of good interior and exterior clips of Octopus, showing her various workings and couple of pieces to camera by her captain.

    You are right, this is what I could see in Sweden, but eventually somebody may put in on YouTube...

    Thanks Lars. Sorry you couldn't get it.

    I seem to remember K1W1 mentioning something about how to access UK TV from outside in a previous thread. Maybe he can help?

    Hi,

    To access TV in UK from abroad you can either subscribe to a UK VPN which will allow you to go all over the net as an "UK User" or a service such as Watch TV Abroad which uses it's own UK servers to disguise the originating IP Address.

    You can do the same VPN type of setup for US TV and other things that region restrict broadcast.

    To see the interiors of these Megayachts like Octopus, Le Gran Bleu, Luna, Seven Seas etc. is like the holy grail for yachts enthusiasts... :D

    How unfortunate that i'm not able to watch it either, thanks for share revdcs!
