Six 30 minute programmes on BBC2 started last night (Sunday) over three nights. The documentary of how Greenpeace tried to board a Russian drilling rig in the Barents Sea - and failed. The Russians then came aboard the Greenpeace ship.

A fascinating story, plenty of swearing.

I binged watched this yesterday on iplayer...

Interesting story, but at the end of the day I didn't have much / any sympathy with the protesters... play stupid games win stupid prizes and all that, particular with Putin and Russia...

They tried to board a vessel(rig) and then complained when the Russians boarded them.

Oh the irony!

Thought they were all a bit naive, maybe owners overlooked danger to protesters to get a lot of publicity?
