Currently watching this on UK/ TV. Looks very dated but I love the story and costumes. Every word is crystal clear, not like some of today's TV dramas where they mumble.
If you like dramas about social history give it a try.

I simply loved that programme and can still hum the traditional song. Those were the days.

I loved The Cedar Tree as well while first baby napped. And I think it was Good Afternoon with Mary Berry, Mary Parkinson, Judith Chalmers and a lovely Welsh woman. Elaine Morgan??

Televison was calm. And the children's TV was brilliant.

The Onedin Line is on YouTube as well!

Iโ€™m sure most know that James Bolam and Susan Jameson are married. They are both in the re-runs of New Tricks now.
The actor who played Dolly in WTBCI, Madeline Newton is married to Kevin Whatley (Lewis).

Sadly I found that there is only 2 series of this lovely series on uk/TV play. Does anyone know where series 3 and 4 can be viewed. I don't have dvd or video recorder so can't purchase from amazon ๐Ÿ˜•

Travelsafar:
Series 3 is on YouTube, I couldn't find 4, but it may be there somewhere if you search.
