    Hi,

    In answer to Bill's query re the Drama Playhouse episode, I gave a
    bit of info about it in message 19 and there's also more about it in
    the Onedin Line section of the Gilmore/Stallybrass website
    (http://www.gilmore-stallybrass.com/).

    The book Marianne mentions by Peter Graham Scott is called "British
    Television, An Insider's History". There is a whole chapter (25
    pages) including a few photos devoted to The Onedin Line and the rest
    of the book is very interesting too – there are a few errors. The
    book is available from Amazon (not cheap) and also crops up on eBay.
    PGS clearly put a lot of effort into Onedin and cared about the
    series. I thoroughly recommend the book to all Onedin fans and anyone
    interested in the history of British TV.

    And in response to braniffjetliner2002's question about the music,
    please see message 27 re some more pieces that were used. I think
    the Arnold Bax piece Marianne mentions is Norwegian Wood. And my
    question re the music used in `Frisco Bound' is still outstanding. I
    would love to know the composer and title of the piece so if anyone
    can help, please get in touch.

    Regards to all,

    I haven't seen "Frisco Bound" for over a quarter
    century, but I remember that was the first episode of
    that show that I watched. If I am not mistaken, during
    one scene, when the riggers were on one of the top
    sailing frames (from where the sails hang) while it
    was windy, the music that was being played was from
    the 3rd movement of Shostakovich's Symphony #5.

    Hi shipmates 
    I have been listening to The 7 th symphony of
    Sibelius  and I think that I have found the answer to Diana's question
    about the music in Frisco Bound.
     
    The theme can be heard about 9 minutes from the
    beginning of the 7 th of Sibelius, at least a part of it.
