Ghostboat (ITV Drama, David Jason)

Ghostboat was an intriguing drama set in the 1980s. The sudden reappearance of a long thought lost-at-sea World War II submarine sparks a mystery that the navy try to solve by re-crewing the submarine and re-tracing its final route. They enlist the aid of the only survivor Jack Hardy (David Jason) whose memory of the incident is shrouded in amnesiac haze.
