Just watched it on iplayer and knew nothing about this, absolutely amazing story and I feel bad that I knew nothing of this before I watched it.

For those that cannot access it from overseas. I was working for a trawler owner at the time so know the story well. Looking back, Mike Burton who was the trawlers owners representative, who I knew very well, comes across so patronising, but in the day no one batted an eyelid.
By ‘usual Herbert’ I assume we mean the person who took it off topic to criticise the amount of money paid to a tv presenter.
One of my poems was read out at Rayners at the treble trawler tragedy

I heard an interview with Mark Herman on Burnsy's show last year where he said that he was making a drama for ITV about it - has it been scrapped?
That rings a bell with me. I'm sure I heard the company that made the Sarah Lancashire drama Happy Valley were involved.
From Mark's agents website...

I know it was discussed at the time, but the Last Testament Of Lillian Bilocca at Guildhall was incredible. Literally spine chilling and one of the most emotional pieces of theatre I’ve ever seen
I hope it comes back, or goes on tour somehow (the venue was so important that might not work well though)

I was expecting to see Steve Terry mentioned in this instead of a bunch of ladies, he was my head band hero
I finally watched this tonight and it was brilliant.
Must have had some onions nearby because I kept having to dry my eyes.
What a force of nature Lillian was and what trauma those men went through every day at sea.
I'll never forget about this and I'm definitely going to read the books.
Really hope there is a tv drama about this that brings it to national attention.
The look of disdain Lilian had in her face for the sneering southern media was a sight to behold.

Headscarf Revolutionaries is an incredible read if you’re wanting to read about it too
