Onedin Line confusion

[ivaradi]

I watched the entire series on public TV in the 70's in America. I
was taken with it, and have never forgotten how good it is. ,
Recently I discovered that 2 sets of DVDs(2 in a set)are available
via amazon.com, produced by a Canadian recording company. I
purchased them and discovered that the 48 chapters(4 disks in part 1
and 4 disks in part 2 with 12 chapters on each disk) are not the
complete series.
Sooo—
I wonder if the entire series is available in English for American
DVD players or VHS players?

I have looked at several listings of the episodes on the internet,
and I have found that no two listings seem to completely agree.

I have found several references to a synopses, but no actual
synopses, so I don't know for certain which episodes I actually have,
or do not have.
I think I only have the first season, although the first season on
the internet lists 15 episodes, whose titles match my CDs. My CDs
contain 48 chapters(episodes?) My CDs end before James' wife dies,
and before he turns to sailing steamships in his business, except for
the race to salvage the cargo using Frazier's steamboat.
I don't see how a weekly series of consecutive programs can create so
much confusion about their order and content! I need someone to help
me sort this out.

Thanks you,

Hi Ron,
It can get confusing with any series. You might
consider checking with Barnes & Noble Bookstores.
They may have access to the complete series in various
sets.
Yes I remember the series from the 70s as well and
thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to get it soon.
