No Latitude for Error
The rules are simple. Start whenever you like, round the main Capes
to port with no motors, no assistance and no stopping. And the
yacht? No restrictions. Anything goes. Until the Jules Verne
Trophy, nobody could be certain that 80 days around the world by
sail was even possible.
To achieve the feat in a world record of 74 days, 22 hours and
17 minutes, Peter Blake sailed ENZA New Zealand, the world's
largest racing catamaran to cross the finish line two days ahead of
the French trimaran to take the Jules Verne Trophy.
No Good Calling for Mum
Before they set out on the Southern Ocean leg of the 1993/94 Whitbread, the crew of New Zealand Endeavour agreed to participate in a unique experiment. They would keep written and taped diaries of their most private thoughts and feelings, their fears and frustrations. An intensely personal record of what it means to race the Southern Ocean. This is their story.

In 1993, David Dougherty was sentenced to seven years and nine months for the 1992 rape and abduction of an 11-year-old girl. When the guilty verdict was read, Dougherty was dragged from the courtroom screaming at his jury of 12 men and women that they had got it wrong.
In this compelling and moving feature-length TV ONE Sunday Theatre, this striking story of the fight to free Dougherty is retold. Until Proven Innocent will be released July 29th.
