Default To the Ends of the Earth - BBC2

New tall ship adventure drama on BBC 2

To the Ends of the Earth
Wed 6 Jul, 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm 90mins

Rites of Passage

Young aristocrat Edmund Talbot embarks on a long and hazardous sea
journey from England to Australia on an ancient, decrepit 18th-century
wooden warship in this darkly comic film of William Golding's prize
winning novel.

The ship is crammed with a disparate assortment of officers, sailors
and passengers like Talbot and poor emigrants who jostle in the crammed
ship. The voyage is rough and shattering, relentless and tedious. Out
of monotony and tedium there grows a need for distraction and mischief.
Edmund is drawn to one of the few available women, the flirtatious
Zenobia. Partly to impress her, he arrogantly champions the case of a
ridiculed fellow passenger, Parson Colley, little knowing the dire
consequences which will result when shame is a force deadlier than the
sea itself.

Contains strong language.

Stereo Widescreen

Note - no tall ships were used or harmed in any way during the making
of this three part series - they were all mockup sets - constructed by
the riggers from the Cutty Sark. Even the ropes were especially made
since none could be found to purchase. They obviously didn't try Square
Sail or Chatham Historic Dockyard, etc.
