Every few years, I re-watch this.

It's a brilliant BBC two-part film about John Harrison and the Longitude clocks

I've visited them many times at Greenwich. Mechanical marvels. Staring at them for a long period of time is almost mandatory.

It's a story so good that the best Hollywood film writers could not match the work of the historian who wrote the book...



Enjoy. Pardon the pun, but worth every second.

Where is it available?

I dig BBC docus and that goes +2 for anything naval or maritime. I've been involved in marine navigation since my teens. I love all this shit.
