Hello Stan, welcome to the group.

 

There were 91 episodes spread over 8 series
broadcast originally from 1971 to 1980. If you have satellite or cable TV and
live in the UK the first two series are being shown on UK Drama
channel starting on Monday. These are also available commercially on DVD (or VHS
tape) check Amazon or eBay etc.

 

As for series 4 onwards these are not
available on tape or DVD commercially yet and I don't know if they ever
will be, which is a shame as there are so many good story lines as the saga
unfolds in the later episodes. The whole series was repeated on UK Gold about
1993-94 so there is a chance they will appear again one day. Members of this
list keep mailing the cable channel UK Drama asking for more of the series to be
shown (at least I hope they do) so who knows maybe we'll get another series or
two out of them.

 

I made a small website with some info and links to
other Onedin themed sites at:

http://www.sound-research.co.uk/onedin_line.htm You
might find it interesting.

 

Bill.

Many thanks for the information.I have series 1 2 and 3 now,
so will have to keep a close eye open for future series being put on
dvd.
Quite an ineresting site you have there Bill plenty of information.
My great grandfather was captain on the sailing ships during the
nineteenth century so i find the series very interesting. Myself i
was mate on trawlers out of Grimsby until fishing finished i then
worked on oil rig support ships. Now just recently retired.
Best regards……….. Stan
