This was a very good doc - part 1 and part 2 - to watch about QE2 and her early days, being an up-and-coming liner in a world experiencing an economic recession and with the airliners having since killed off the transatlantic liners. I'm glad to say that this has aged very well with QE2 having gone on to serve for just shy of 40 years, and now with QM2 here to continue the tradition. :)
I love the quote at 17'30" stating the QE2 is the largest luxury liner in the world and thre will never be another like it. How wrong they were proved !
What a miserable crew, so different to the forever smiling Filipino crew on the Cunard ships now. Then again it could be the presenter sucking the life out of them, it seems all he wants to hear is negative answers!

Thanks @Thames TV for all these vintage and nostalgic videos 👍
That barman's had a few haha. 11:56 Love the QE2 my dad was a joiner at Browns and fitted a lot of the interiors.
Bloody brilliant. Thank you.
"There will never be another like her" then came the Queen Mary II.
Strewth, the 70's really were a horrid era for interior design. Even the "penthouse" cabins send a shiver down my spine!

Why would you think that that? My comment was positive stating how good the crew on modern Cunard ships are.
