Submarine

1985
BBC One



'Submarine' is a fly-on-the-wall documentary made by the BBC in 1985, depicting aspects of life onboard three Royal Navy submarines, all of which have now been scrapped. The series was originally broadcast as six half-hour episodes, but they cover three discrete topics, and are presented here as three episodes of just under an hour each.

This is a recording of the original pre-digital television transmission made using a domestic VHS video recorder, probably in extended-play mode. It has been re-recorded on tape at least once (to join the episodes) and possibly more. The quality has suffered accordingly, and there are one or two minor tape glitches, but this rare series is still highly watchable, if only for the period haircuts, enthusiastic smoking and authentic cut-glass naval accents.


Episode Information

Episode 1 - Perisher



Perisher follows four experienced officers as they attempt to pass the dreaded commanding officers' qualifying course, known as the 'Perisher'. Each of them knows that failure means never setting foot onboard a submarine again.
