Longitude (2000)
this drama appealed to me so much that i had to write about it!

This tv drama was not only riveting but informing to the degree that if I ever get lost at sea, i would know my longitude. Great actors and actresses star in this 4hr drama (with commercials), and I would recommend this drama to anyone who wishes to see Mr John and William Harrison's lifelong ambition and struggle to create the most accurate timepiece in the world and to defeat a sceptical bureaucratic group of people (the longitude board) who doggedly refuse the prize which rightfully belongs to them. this drama will also appeal to history buffs. For example, Captain Cook took a replica of Harrison's timepiece and the king of England took part in the trials of the H4.
