This week, Rob and Duncan are telling the story of a ship... or, at least, the story of Noël Coward's story of a ship. It's In Which We Serve! Directed by Coward and David Lean (shipped in, no pun intended, for the action sequences) and starring Coward, John Mills, Bernard Miles, Celia Johnson and Richard Attenborough, this 1942 movie (yes, the war is still raging) tells what was then a very fresh story of the 1941 exploits of Lord Louis Mountbatten (here referred to as Captain Kinross) and the HMS Torrin. A good film? A good ship? And did this change the course of the war?

Presented by Duncan Weldon and Robert Hutton.

Executive produced by Nick Hilton for Podot.

Produced by Ewan Cameron.
