Hit Ridley Scott show The Terror has revealed the north and north-east links with Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin’s doomed expedition in 1845.
The Terror sets sail for BBC Two and iPlayer and centres on the disastrous attempt by the crews of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror to discover a sea route through the Canadian Arctic to the Orient, with both ships becoming icebound in the Canadian Arctic’s Victoria Strait and the entire 129-man expedition perishing.
