Well worth a look. Phew....
Just watched it. Wow, what a film! I’ve not been that involved in a film in a long time.
I watched it - totally gripping. Fantastic documentary making and a fascinating insight into North Sea diving - technically but mostly the human side. For once the 'pick of the day' recommendation was spot on.

I watched it again last night and SWMBO joined me, she also thought it excellent.

Wow, just wow. This made extremely compelling viewing. Beautifully made, honest and quite brutal. I challenge anyone to not take something away from this.
Well recommended watching this if you get the chance.
Watched it last night,one of best things I’ve seen for a while

Thanks for the heads up OP, a good watch.
His diving buddy was quite... errr, blunt!
I thought he came across as a c@@k howvere I guess that is just his mentality, and he did say that from the get go. His bell man was the complete opposite and a gent.Quote:

From what I understand, that was the whole point. It started off as a 15-20min training video to illustrate what can go wrong, etc, put together by Floating Harbour and Bibby Offshore Ltd called Lifeline:Quote:

Lifeline demonstrates how safety leadership behaviours, procedures and emergency actions prevented a catastrophic outcome from a severely life-threatening situation."
It was then expanded into a documentary.
Well, yes I was trying to be polite.Quote:

When the bloke was tearing up about the thought of having to call the guy’s mrs to tell her he’d died, I just said to the mrs.. could have let the blunt bloke do it... “hello, not that I care but your husband died today. Selfish bugger wasted half the day’s work, bye!”
Well, that was powerful stuff indeed. I have a vague recollection of reading about this a little while ago, but the documentary really brings it home. It's left me lost for words tbh.
I'm half way through. So stressful.
Surely they should have tried restarting the ships computer way sooner than they did... they called it a last resort but it’s the first thing I do with any technical hitches
I would say that's a hard call.Quote:

Its a very very good TV show.
Absolutely thrilling and horrific just glad he survived!
Anyone know if this is on again?
It will never download with the internet speed offshore 😂😂
It's on iPlayer for another 26 days.Quote:

I wasn't expecting that. Excellent film. They are mental.
Cheers, home on Wednesday, so will watch it then 👍🏻Quote:

Agree with the comments about his diving buddy, wow.

Every man for himself in a run off, unless there is time to help, but there usually isn't.
Amazing, wasn’t expecting that.
Surprised that there was nothing at all set out about what to do in the event of failure of both DP systems beyond ‘brainstorming’. Big red signs now ‘Reboot in the event of catastrophic failure and act fast’?

Should have phoned the IT Crowd...
Great documentary.
I knew the story, but my wife was stunned into silence at times!

And it’s a big WOW from me too, thanks for the recommendation.
My mate does exactly the same job and it was good to visually see what he describes.
He was following a pipeline once when a large cod following the line swam between his legs at speed. That made him jump, but the sea lion that followed through was a completely different surprise all together!
Thanks from me too. We watched last night and were gripped from start to end.
I must be in the minority. Whilst it was interesting. The flashbacks to his smiling wife were a bit nauseating and unnecessary. The whole thing could have been cleared up in an hour as a documentary rather than a dramatisation. Was interesting how his dive buddy wasn't at the wedding though. Probably a few things that weren't in the programme either that might have explained his buddies opinions....
Just watched this, thought it was excellent.
Ill stick to staying on the bridge 😂😂
Well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet.
Watched it last night, gripping stuff.
The attitude of the DPO was pretty disappointing, as if no blame was attributable to him or the bridge team. If they couldn't assume manual control of the vessel and keep on station then they shouldn't have had divers down.
Just my two penneths worth.

We watched it this evening, amazing story.
We only got around to watching this last night, it a phenomenal story and well worth watching.
Amazing film. Miracle he survived and even more so that he wasn't brain damaged.
Watched this yesterday after several recommendations - wow, what a film. Brought a tear to my eye when he walked into frame and sat down
