Movie Summary
The subject of this episode is Horatio Nelson, whose naval career began at the age of 12 and ended with one of the greatest military victories in history. Like so many of history’s big names, Nelson’s achievements have become shrouded in legend, and in this programme experts Mark Grove and Peter Warwick extract the man from the myth to reveal what set him apart. Born in 1758 in Norfolk, Nelson had always lived by the sea, and was desperate to join the Navy from a young age. When his sea-officer uncle was given a new ship, Nelson begged to be part of the crew, and was made midshipman at the tender age of 12. (more) His progress thereafter was prodigious, and he rose to the rank of captain by the time he was 20. But he really made his name during the French Revolution, when Britain, refusing to recognise the new French republic, was at war with France and its ally Spain. Among the French revolutionaries Nelson was fighting was the 24 year-old artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte. This marked the start of a historical conflict between the two military leaders that would last for 12 years – and the costs would be high: Nelson lost the sight in his right eye, and later also one of his arms. This programme follows Nelson’s colourful personal life as well as his naval career to create a vibrant picture of this complex man, whose immortalisation was guaranteed when he died during his greatest hour at the Battle of Trafalgar, and who was, according to Peter Warwick “a ruthless, determined fighter, but also a very human man.”
