Anyone enjoying this rather far fetched tale on bbc one ? I love anything with martin compston in [ line of duty ]
HERE has been controversy over the plot of the new BBC drama Vigil, which appears to feature a Scottish fishing boat, the Mhairi Finnea, being dragged deep into the sea after a submarine is snagged in its nets.
Viewers must wait to see if it was HMS Vigil that sank the fishing boat or some other nation’s submarine, presumably Russian.
It was a very powerful part of the opening episode on Sunday night, and immediately sparked memories of a real-life tragedy in which the trawler Antares was sunk by Royal Navy nuclear-powered submarine HMS Trenchant in the Arran Trench off the Isle of Arran in the early hours of November 22, 1990.
