I usually watch some TV after going to bed each night. Last night I caught what I found to be certainly the best thing I have seen on TV during the run up to Christmas.

It was 'When The Last Ship Sails' BBC 1, 11.05 pm. I won't say anything about it but IMO it is well worth watching on the iplayer. I was enthralled.

Go in then, give us a clue what it's about

Oh, all right then. It will probably not be everyones 'cup of tea' but Sting has not produced anything for 10 years. He has been working on a musical play about the demise of the shipbuilding industry on Tyneside, he was a Wallsend lad. The play will be produced on Broadway next year and this was a preview of most of the music (just released as an album) performed before a small audience at The Public Theatre, New York.

The program is in the form of a ceilidh with an assortment of instruments and beautifully filmed. If you like folksy type music that tells a story you will certainly like this. I hope the show comes to the UK because I will be in the queue.

Oh is that all
Seriously though it does sound interesting

I like Sting's music. Be very interesting if it comes here - well - it won't come HERE but if it comes to one of the big cities on the west coast I might get to see it.

On another note I actually thought it had to do with ship building!
