Been having a look at The Rum Ration to see the navy's take on the Surrender Saga

Very interesting debates raging

Someone has linked to a Daily mail (spit) article by richard Littlejohn which I have to admit made me chuckle like a loon

"She was the People's Prisoner. From the off, the hostage saga has been covered as if it were an episode of I'm A British Sailor . . . Get Me Out Of Here!

How long before the ludicrous Faye Turney pops up on Celebrity Fat Club? I bet they didn't let her get in the dinghy first. This is a woman who is capable of capsizing the Ark Royal if she shifts her weight to the wrong cheek.

Negotiations are probably already under way for the movie rights. This is not so much The Great Escape, more Carry On Up The Shatt al Arab, with Turney played by Hattie Jacques. Think of the fun Kenneth Williams and the crew could have had with that title. Starring Bernard Bresslaw as Ayatollah I'madinnerjacket and featuring lots of doubles entendres about leading seamen.

The part of the pathetic young sailor who said he sobbed for three days because the Iranians called him Mr Bean would be perfect for Charles Hawtrey."
