anyone see Deep Water last night

[MyEye]

wasn't it amazing?

the thing about Donald Crowhurst, the sailor in the round-the-world race who went mad?
Were you all too busy with Dragons' Den?

i saw it and was transfixed by it as i didn't know his story and was dying to know what happened to him although i predicted that he didn't go home. Was quite depressed at the end though ...it was heavy and I felt for his family who have lived with the consequences of his actions

No I didn't

interesting further reading on here

I knew the story, but I didn't know exactly what had happened. Thought the doc was exemplary.

Such a tragic conspiracy of personality and circumstance

Really painful to imagine what DC (and his wife and 4 children) had gone through. I loved the elegaic note at the very end, when his friend said he gave him a hero's burial.

My DH were moved at the fact that the winner of the challenge donated his prize money to the widow and her family.

yes..i didn't realise how long it was when I started watching it (thought just an hour but was on for almost 2) but got caught up in it and had to watch until the end.
