here is the link to this BBC show on youtube... hopefully some kind soul will turn it into a blue clicky lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqC2-wY_Axw they didn't mention Stan Hugill, but they did use a recording of him shantying in the sound track - hard to miss those dulcet tones of his lol I did appreciate that they mentioned Richard Runciman Terry and his first book of shanties... an early pioneer much neglected these days and who actually presented a number of radio broadcasts of shanties back in the early days of the BBC in the 1920s. Shanties were a life long passion of his and his extended Runciman family
