The Terror: it s Master and Commander, with monsters. The horror series from producer Ridley Scott, which was originally shown on the US channel AMC in 2018 and now finally arrives on BBC Two, follows a boatload of arctic explorers on the run from a vengeful spirit that dwells in those frozen wastes.
Ice-monsters may be fictional (at least, one would hope so), but the show is based on historical fact. It s the latest retelling of the doomed 1845-46 expedition of Captain John Franklin and Francis Crozier, and their two ominously named ships – Erebus (one of the rivers in the Greek underworld) and Terror.
