A brand new comedy TV show has joined the ranks of BBC Two, and is already leaving fans blown away. Our Flag Means Death, written by David Jenkins, is a 10 part interpretation of how World famous Bristol pirate Blackbeard joined forced with a man who left his family behind to pursue the ocean.
After airing in the US early last year, the series has finally made it to the UK and is available to watch immediately on iPlayer, or in the traditional manner of one episode a week. Whichever way you watch it, fans have grown rather fond of their bumbling pirate crew.
The series stars Rhys Derby as pirate-dandy Stede Bonnet, and Taika Waititi as the dread pirate Blackbeard. Don't think you'll be hearing any familiar Westcountry accents on the show, however - both stars stick to their comfortable Kiwi accents.
