Are there any references to The Onedin Line in movies, novels, TV
shows, cliches, etc. since the show was on the air? Since Onedin had a
big following, I wondered if spurred popular slang, if people in movies
made references to characters and the like.Your thoughts are welcome.
Hello:there was a book out called "the making of the Onedin
Line" You should be able to get it out of the library. It was
published around 1980 or so. Very interesting book. I love the off
set photos of Anne and Peter. They were on their way to becoming an off
screen couple by then. The books the series was based on was written by
Cryril Abraham who did write some of the scripts. Hope that
helps

that helps— Well I am not sure if this is quite what you mean, but I once saw
a 'Two Ronnies' sketch where of course Ronnie Barker was Baines and
Ronnie Corbett (plus amazing sideburns! ) was a rather diminutive
James. Can't quite remember the storyline but every time 'Baines' left
or entered the cabin the contents of a bucket of water was thrown over
him!Fiona
Perfect reference to the Onedin Line!! By the way, I live in the United States, so is that program available on DVD at this time?bty261364 <fiona.j.hall@btopenworld.com> wrote:

Two Ronnies/Ronnie Barker.Does anyone know if the sketch is included in any of the Two Ronnies
videos/DVDs?Diana
HiI may be drummed out of the group for saying this (!) but I don't
think the sketch quite matched up to the dizzy heights of 'fork
handles' , 'pispronounciation' or the 'Morris Dancers' so I would very
much doubt if it will be on VHS/DVDWith apologies to our members who have absolutly no idea who the 'Two
RoRonnies' are or to what I am referring above!Fiona

>Oh I agree with you, Fiona, that from my vague
memory of seeing the scene in the 70s, the Onedin take off was a long way from
being one of the Two Ronnies best efforts. Having said that, I'd still v
much like to see it again.Dstyle="BORDER-LEFT:#000000 2px solid;MARGIN-LEFT:5px;MARGIN-RIGHT:0px;PADDING-LEFT:5px;PADDING-RIGHT:0px;">

>Greetings, All,I know I'm a bit late on this, but I didn't have any comments to
ass until a few days or so ago when my wife & I were watching an
episode of "Are You Being Served?". Mr. Humphries was talking about
his television experience the previous night. (Not trying to memorize
the dialog – laughing at their effective use of "self-cleaning
pronography") Mr. Humphries says his television had no picture, only
sound, when he turned it on & found himself in the middle of a
programme. He describes what dialog he heard, with it sounding more &
more like some lurid X-rated thing the more he talked. Finally he says
he heard someone say [something like] "Bring her around, Mr. Baines;
and I realized it was 'The Onedin Line.'"Not exactly "modern" culture, but it was a (humourous) reference.
