Onedin line on TV

[ivaradi]

has anyone been watching it over the past few months?

I've been able to watch every one and am devastated now its finished alyhough I have them all on DVD. Being on tele keeps the series and the actors in the public eye and gains new fans for this best series ever.

Yes! I was in it and I missed it the first time around. Was I ever that young?!

Hello Richard.

Did you take the opportunity to get better recordings of the episodes that my tapes provided a few years ago?

Did you get any repeat fees? 🙂

Bill.

Hello Bill,
 
Better recordings thank you but also more episodes that I'd forgotten I was in!
 
I've been in touch with another deck hand who was involved in earlier filming onboard the Soren and who also missed seeing the original series because we were both at sea on Sorlandet and other tallships, he too has been recording all.
 
Repeat fees? It was £10 a week ships money and £20 a day BBC money and food and that was it!
Aye it were tough before the mast in my day, an' you tell young people today an' they don't believe you……..

I believe you, sir! I just retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer, from
29 years of active duty in the US Coast Guard, and early in my career
(1982-84) I was aboard a buoy tender. Very hard work that was. If anyone has seen
the "Dirty Jobs" episode when Mike Rowe worked aboard the USCGC Aspen
(that's US Coast Guard Cutter for those unfamiliar with the designation),
you'll know what I mean. First hand info here – none of that was staged; all of
what you saw Mike do was our daily routine, and at times we worked up to
eight buoys a day, and each one could take anywhere from thirty minutes to
three hours each depending on how bad the buoy was, which of course
determined how many buoys we worked.

Only back then, we didn't have the jack-hammer-like thing Mike used to
scrape the buoys clean; it was all done with those long hand scrapers he
started out with. Positioning the buoys was done with sextants and not GPS. And
with the exception of the boom which handled the buoys, all davits and any
other such equipment was hand-cranked: no hydraulics (but what would one
expect from a buoy tender that was built in the 1940s?). Ah, the fun times!

I really wish we could get the "The Onedin Line" Series (all eight) here in
the US without having to jump through hoops and do back-flips to find good
English language versions (WITHOUT any subtitles to distract). I loved
watching it with my father (also a prior "Coastie") in the late '70s when the
Series actually aired on certain US channels and haven't seen an episode
since. Although, as a consolation, I have found a pen pal in the UK who
served aboard the topsail schooner Charlotte Rhodes (who starred as the
Charlotte Rhodes in the Series – they didn't change the name of that lovely vessel
for filming), also in the late '70s, before Charlotte sadly fell victim to
arson.

Thank you Dino for your interesting discussion about your job. For we
landlubbers there is so much to know about the sea!

The non-English versions of the Onedin Line have the ability to turn
off the sub-titles. So long as you have a less-than-10-year-old TV your
DVD should read either format (PAL or NTSC) and you can watch every
episode without a hitch.

Ah, Elaine,

Sadly, the only telly we have in our house that is more than ten years
old is the old black and white set that I watched as a child while sitting
on my great-grandmother's lap. So it's safe to say that it's at least 50
years old (but it still works!) I keep the dust blown out of it and still
have it for sentimental reasons. But black and white… I'd like to see the
colors.

All my other tellys (there are only two) are less than five years old.
One isn't even a year old yet: HD LCD! I finally managed to afford one.

I keep asking my kid (some kid; he's 26 going for his Master's degree)
to download the episodes and put them on DVD for me since he's got a DVD
burner in his computer, and he's got that u-torrent (or is that bit torrent?
– hell I can't keep them straight). He keeps giving me that "Oh yeah! I
can do that for you; easy!" But instead he spends all of his "down time" on
World of Warcraft.

Maybe I'll get his mother to threaten him. (No one survives "The
Mother's Look!")

Dino.
