There's a nice feature in this week's Radio Times about the programme - I'll scan it in later and post it here.

Oh
My
Goodness

Why the **** did Britain not keep her.  Thats what that clip makes you think.  Why did we let her go?  And the other question is... why couldn't we build her replacement...

Just seen the programme. You are quite right - why oh why did Britain not keep her? I got ratty when Carol Marlowe (Cunard) was "corporate" extolling the new QE (and the dreaded QV) as "successors". AArgh!

Cheers!

Loved every minute of it, and they packed a lot in... her 60s funkiness, and her beauty, and her strength and power - and her BRITISHNESS!

If you managed to see it - what did you make of Timewatch's version of The QE2?

Hello Everyone,

Wondering what you thought?..'Spose like her life with us, I wish it had been  longer (the programme).

The clips we've been lucky enough to see here on the Forum have been equally good too!

Excellent programme, showing her at her very best, and very poignant.  Excellent screenshots too.  Just wish the programme could have been much longer...

Fabulous film -- beautifully done. Pia and our Mum and I watched together in Ireland, just as we had cruised together on QE2. As it happened, we had quite decent sound with a half-decent picture. Looking forward to seeing the details on the DVD!

So much to enjoy, to remember about QE2, and to take in about that final voyage... That super sequence from the early years! And the regular announcements -- Ian McNaught from the bridge, keeping his cool and his sense of humour all the way to Dubai (admirable!), and the Officer of the Watch (first time in my QE2 experience that this was a woman -- must have been Rosie!!) giving the regular navigational information.

Thank you, Rob, for those superb photos... catching those fleeting moments from the film. Each of them with a special memory.

We could have watched many more hours of QE2...  :'(

In your opinion what was QE2's "final nail in the coffin" with Cunard?
