  • H.M.S. Giang Bee
    H.M.S. GIANG BEE - Sunk by Japanese destroyer on 13th February 1942 Researched passenger list [Version 1. 2. 0; March 2010] The “HMS Giang Bee”, a Chinese-owned coastal steamer requisitioned and used as a patrol vessel, left Singapore Harbour – according to a statement made by a number of those who were on board – at 10p.m. on Thursday 12th February 1942. Although Captain Lancaster, in command of the ship, initially refused to take civilian passengers because he saw the dangers attached to a ship designated as a warship, she was loaded with up to 300 refugees ( one survivor, Gordon Reis believed there to be 350 people on board) who were mostly women, children and the elderly. All her Malay crew had been ordered ashore in Singapore before she left, so that the crew consisted of a handful of RNVR personnel and some passengers who volunteered to be stokers etc. She was bombed and suffered damage during the day of 13th February, and in the evening, after a long stand- off with a Japanese destroyer, she was shelled and sunk in the Banka Strait. There had never been enough lifeboats for those on board, and two of them had been seriously damaged by the day’s bombing. Due to this and the speed with which the ship sank, a large number of lives were lost. Whilst there appears to have initially been an attempt by the Japanese to handle the surrender of the ship in a somewhat civilised manner, in the final event the Japanese warships showed no humanity or decency when they were in full knowledge that the ship contained civilians and a huge number of women and children.

  • Winter Highlights 2004
    DRAMA WINTER HIGHLIGHTS 2004 ENGLAND EXPECTS Steven Mackintosh stars in a hard-hitting drama about a man who is drawn back to his far right past as his life spirals out of control. Mackintosh plays Ray, a responsible family man, fiercely protective of his daughter, Nikki. But he is also a control freak and, when things start to go wrong – first at work and then at home – he begins to lose his grip on reality. As his behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and he looks for someone other than himself to blame, he turns towards people from his past – people who are prepared to exploit him for their own ends. England Expects is produced by award-winning programme-maker Ruth Caleb. Her BBC ONE credits include Dominic Savage's Out Of Control, which won the Michael Powell Award for Best British Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Antonia Bird's Care, which won the Prix Italia for Best Drama. IN DENIAL OF MURDER Stephen Tompkinson plays campaigning local journalist Don Hale in a factually based drama which explores the controversial case of Stephen Downing and the murder in 1973 of Wendy Sewell (played by Caroline Catz) in Bakewell cemetery in the Peak District. Don Hale’s determination to prove Downing’s innocence captured the imagination of the press and public alike. Based on extensive research and written by Neil McKay, In Denial Of Murder tells the moving and tragic story behind the headlines, combining the story of Hale’s campaign with an account of the life of the murder victim.

The policy of the government was set out in the White Paper on International Development, published in A studyofBritishtelevisioncoveragedevelopingcountries November 1997.
