David Jason in Ghostboat - Memorable TV Features and Giveaways

The nation’s favourite, Sir David Jason is set to captivate audiences once again as he stars in Ghostboat, a two-part naval drama for ITV1.

Jack Hardy (David Jason) is the sole survivor of a mysterious submarine disaster in World War II.

Now, in 1981, the ill-fated submarine Scorpion has resurfaced, miraculously intact. And Naval Intelligence need Hardy's expertise to retrace the course and mission that led to her original disappearance.

But what's waiting for them under the grey waters of the Baltic Sea turns out to be much worse than the Russian submarines they're expecting.
