Building the Queen Mary 2: Discovery Channel

[Gary B]

On the Discovery Channel this evening (UK) there was a 2 part documentary on the Building of the Queen Mary 2. It is repeated again overnight and on Discovery Channel +1. They usually repeat shows over the week.

 

It was a very good show. Gettting into a lot of detail on the how it was deisgned and built.

 

Did anyone else see it? Thoughts?

My Tivo tells me that on October 27th and again on October 28th, 2005 this program will air on the Discovery Channel.

I watched it and thought it was very well done. I wish they had spent a little more time showing the tests it was put through.

In the US, I found "Queen Mary 2 Birth of a Legend" listed for Discovery Channel on Thursday, 10/27. It's a two-hour program. It doesn't mention a Part II. Is this the name of the program you referred to, or did you see another program perhaps only shown in the UK?

If you will notice the original thread was started in 2004, I just added to his post rather than starting a new thread.

As I started watching the documentary, I realized that I saw it last year. Once again, I see the building of the ship and get excited as she is tested in the waters and her fitting is completed.

 

;) It adds to my anticipation of our 12/8 Caribbean Cruise! It's only 41 days and counting!
