I'd really like to watch this. Do we need ginger tablets for mal de mer?
I have the book The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst which I've read at least three times. I also have Voyage for Madmen which tells much more about the Golden Globe challenge of 1968. And I have the DVD Deep Water, which is the documentary about Mr Crowhurst's fateful voyage.
It doesn't really get more tragic than this and the film is called The Mercy because of some lines he wrote in the log towards the end. (spoiler omitted)
I can also add that I rode down to the Rio Salado on my bike and found the exact spot where he made landfall in Argentina and spoke to the son of the prefectura who met him and greeted him with "Ey, meester!"
I'm drawn to his story and I don't really know why.

I'd watch anything set in Argentina and anything with Ben Kingsley. Add to these, the fascinating story and attention to historical detail, and I'm ready to be on the edge of the seat.
Here's the trailer.

Does anybody watch the Great British Bake Off?
Five years ago, our house flooded, and we spent 5 months in a hotel as we cleared everything out of the house. Very stressful. The best nighttime escapes we found at the hotel were episodes of Last Tango in Halifax and The Great British Baking Show, the American PBS name for the Bake Off.
No politics, no backbiting; remarkably soothing!
