First I really hate the use of WW2's updated HMS Barham CGI model to represent absolutely all the battleships (even the German battlecruisers!) at tactical level along the whole program, repeatedly stealing the center of the scene. Even more disgusting is that same ship appears at Opening Titles. It seems that someone was producing another documentary (about the sinking of HMS Barham, I suppose) and also did think: "HMS Barham was in Jutland
who cares about technical, pictorial or historic accuracy?" But honestly we know that isn't the only program with that kind of errors.
Many other accuracy ship's CGI animations are showing: HMS Indefatigable, HMS Black Prince, HMS Queen Mary but they sadly switch to WW2 updated HMS Barham when translated to tactical quad map. "Jutland WW1's Greatest Sea Battle" made me remembers that TV shows are entertainment and in order to keep us well documented we need to read books.
This documentary sails on wake of Jutland's Centennial but improves technical resources using surprising "Multibeam" Survey (April 2015); but I feel a little disappointed because the famous historian-diver don't dive, it may be that he explains why in his Naval Archaeology's book. There are also information about conditions of wrecks and even one interesting explanation about HMS Indefatigable case. If you want to know more get the book.
Another original approach is based at Jellicoe's grandson claim for ancestral redemption, based in a map "fortuity founded between wall papers". The situation moves me to investigate and this man also wrote a book about Jutland's Battle. But he hasn't the last word because Dr. Grove comes to rescue the objectivity sentencing: "We didn't do a good job".
