To ask what on EARTH this documentary was?!

[WellThisIsFranklyDreadful]

So, I think the documentary itself was about a ship or ships and it featured a look behind the scenes at Lloyd’s of London and the loss book and the waiters. Does anyone know what on earth I’m on about?!

I think I remember something about the Titanic where they showed the relevant page of the Lloyd's loss book. Don't know the title though.

This film (1936)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd%27s_of_London_(film)

No, it was relatively modern. A Dan Snow type thing.

Could have been. It showed a fair bit about the Lloyd’s Waiters too.

Not seen it but perhaps Shackleton: The Story of Endurance with Dan Snow?

It might have covered the Lloyd's of London casualty book www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-64818864.amp

Was it a series? Quite recently? Behind the scenes of a department store? With a charismatic owner?

If so I know the one you mean but cannot remember the name 😂

Was it this

The documentary is "This is Lloyds", also known as "All Risks". It's a film that offers a behind-the-scenes look at Lloyd's of London, focusing on the work of underwriters, brokers, and the "waiters" who work on the floor. The film also features the Lutine Bell, rung to signal major shipping disasters, and the "Loss Book" (also known as the Casualty Book), which records details of ships that are total losses according to London Market Training Ltd. According to the Archive & Library at Lloyd's Register Foundation, the documentary also touches on the Missing Vessels Books, which are a collection of manuscripts detailing ships reported missing to Lloyd's.

I’ve almost certainly seen that so it might have been?

This rings so many bells!!

No, definitely not that - it was recent/modern.

Is it Mr. Selfridge???
