Alan is below, sleeping. The Ajax's 11-mile-long curtain
of nets have been fishing on the seabed
through the night, but there's a problem. Basically, mate, this French geezer... ..he's not listening. He's not
playing the game, is he? He's not playing the game, yeah. The California, a French
trawler towing heavy gear along the sea floor, is heading
straight for them. If she doesn't change course,
she'll drag the nets away. These are our nets here. And then, that's him. So, basically, we're trying
to get him to turn... ..and go back down. But if he'll do it, that's
anyone's guess. Losing their fishing nets would
be costly. £6,000-£7,000 worth of net. And the rest. Yeah, and the rest!

Alan is below, sleeping.
00:00:03.002 --> 00:00:06.024
The Ajax's 11-mile-long curtain
of nets
00:00:06.024 --> 00:00:09.999
have been fishing on the seabed
through the night, but there's
00:00:09.999 --> 00:00:10.004
a problem.
00:00:10.004 --> 00:00:11.008
Basically, mate,
00:00:11.008 --> 00:00:13.024
this French geezer...
00:00:13.024 --> 00:00:15.084
..he's not listening. He's not
playing the game, is he?
00:00:15.084 --> 00:00:17.048
He's not playing the game, yeah.
00:00:19.002 --> 00:00:22.056
The California, a French
trawler towing heavy gear
00:00:22.056 --> 00:00:25.012
along the sea floor, is heading
straight for them.
00:00:27.096 --> 00:00:31.028
If she doesn't change course,
she'll drag the nets away.
00:00:31.028 --> 00:00:32.072
These are our nets here.
00:00:35.006 --> 00:00:37.998
And then, that's him.
00:00:38.028 --> 00:00:41.048
So, basically, we're trying
to get him to turn...
00:00:41.048 --> 00:00:43.999
..and go back down.
00:00:44.002 --> 00:00:47.024
But if he'll do it, that's
anyone's guess.
00:00:47.024 --> 00:00:50.084
Losing their fishing nets would
be costly.
00:00:50.084 --> 00:00:53.998
£6,000-£7,000 worth of net.
00:00:53.998 --> 00:00:54.072
And the rest. Yeah, and the rest!
