Step aboard HMS Hecate in this riveting BBC Saturday Night Theatre production of The Crippled Tanker, first broadcast on April 1, 1961. Based on a true account by naval officer and author D.A. Rayner, this intense World War II radio drama chronicles the desperate mission to tow a crippled Greek tanker, Antioch, across the perilous North Atlantic.

Carrying four million gallons of high-octane aviation fuel—enough for 2,000 bombers to strike Berlin—the Antioch is Britain’s lifeline. With German U-boats circling and Luftwaffe bombers in the skies, what begins as a thankless task becomes a test of resolve, loyalty, and valor.

Starring Brewster Mason as Commander Morrell, and directed by Archie Campbell, this production captures the drama, danger, and dignity of wartime service at sea.
