The article claims Billy Drake was a direct descendant of Sir Francis Drake. This is impossible, since Drake died childless, passing on his estate to his nephew. I therefore removed this dubious "fact" from the article. Polozooza (talk) 08:35, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've added details of this documentary about Drake, along with the link to view it on the BBC website. I'm not sure if it can be viewed outside the UK, so it would be helpful if some non-UK editors could check and confirm whether they can see it or not, and we can change the page text accordingly.
