HMS Raleigh at Torpoint is starring in the new Channel 4 documentary series, Royal Navy School, on screen again this evening (Monday, February 15).

Each hour-long programme aims to give an insight into the lives of recruits undergoing training – from being put through their paces in exercises to letting off steam with dormitory high-jinks. Production company Twofour was given behindthe-scenes access to the base. Through a network of 50 fixed-rig cameras, the programmes follow the recruits from the moment they arrive.

There’s more in our report in this week’s print edition of the Cornish Times.
