Worth a look at the repeat if you did'nt see it tonight Jim on BBC2 at 2010:jbryce1437 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 6:01 pm Pleased to see that the mighty Anson has now been named. She is the adopted warship of Sunderland. Not sure if she would ever pay a port visit to her adopted city though.

Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Christmas Fishing
BBC Two
The year’s best slow-burn series returns for a festive special, seeing novice angler Bob Mortimer take his erstwhile companion Paul Whitehouse to his childhood home of Middlesbrough to try their hand at casting in the River Esk. Bob stirs up some Christmas cheer in Paul with a haphazard turkey dinner, followed by a trip to the harbour village of Staithes and a chat with fellow Middlesbrough native Chris Rea, who details his travel plans for getting home on the 25th.
Sad to see Chris Rea but at least he is still with us, Rea is Type 1 diabetic, and has to take 34 pills daily. [21][22] see:

Anson in the water as new hunter-killer enters final stage of construction
17 May 2021
The fifth of the Silent Service’s Astute-class submarines sits in the water as she enters the final stages of construction and commissioning.
HMS Anson was rolled out of her home for the past decade before being lowered into the water at BAE’s yard in Barrow during a delicate two-day operation.
Now she’s conducting final testing and commissioning of systems, preparing for her first dive – submerging most of the boat in a special dry dock – ahead of leaving Cumbria next year and joining her four sisters in Faslane.
