Hi Elaine and everyone else,

I have just had a look at the Exetermemories site, its brilliant, I always
find these behind the scene things fascinating.

It is a wee bit hard to believe some times that all this happened so long
ago and some of thouse wonderful people are no longer with us any more.

The picture of Howard Lang I found especially touching, its easy to believe
he's some where now still propping up the side of a ship with that grin on
his face.

Well thanks again Elaine for the link, you never know maybe down the line
more of these sorts of pictures will pop up.

Have a great day all.

Brenton.

Subject: [shiponedingroup] More websites and other stuff

Good morning "shipmates" …

Just found some more sites which have a tiny bit more on the Onedin
Line …

http://www.thechest <http://www.thechestnut.com/onedin/onedin.htm>
nut.com/onedin/onedin.htm – promises much but
delivers little 🙁

http://www.exeterme <http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/onedinline.html>
mories.co.uk/EM/onedinline.html – great pix and
some background info on the series.

http://www.merseysh
<http://www.merseyshipping.co.uk/features/ShipsOnFilm/shipsontv.htm>
ipping.co.uk/features/ShipsOnFilm/shipsontv.htm –
covers many movies/TV series and for the ship-buffs among us could be
a source of great interest.

Not sure if this is true but I read recently that the Charlotte
Rhodes was destroyed by fire in 1980-something … does anyone have
any definite information?

Also read that Howard Lang died in 1989.

And I've been having a real wander about the internet to see if there
are any more DVDs/Videos past Series 4 and have come up with a great
big blank.

And I did a fairly comprehensive search of surname databases and came
up with another blank. I really cannot find any entries there or in
telephone books for Onedin. Looks like it is not a surname with a
family attached. Given all the variations among surnames, it seems
amazing that someone thought up one which is unique. Does any lista
know anything definite on the surname Onedin?

Drat that we've finished watching all 4 series and wonder if we'll
live long enough to see series 5 to 8 given the great amount of time
taken to get even these out.

Have a great week 🙂

Hi Elaine,

Hahaha glad to see I'm not the only one who does this, I think we have all
sent the wrong thing to the wrong place at some time.

Have an excellent day where ever it is you are. 🙂

Brenton.

Hi Shirley,

 

Excellent site!  I’ll try and mail
through your web site, asking about your cute little friends might not seem to Onedin
Line related for the group.

 

Cheers,

Hi
Shirley,

 

Welcome
to the group.  J  Just curious you say you breed rats and sell
them…errrrrrrrr is there a big market over there for rats?

Do you
have any of the Onedin line on tape or DVD? There have been a couple of new
releases DVD wise that will take you up to season 4.  The group has quite
a few members who have just purchased some of these and could offer advice on
where to get them and how much they cost.

 

Well
best of luck with the Falconry (again interesting profession), and have an
excellent day!

Brenton.

Important news for all the members of the group

 

Deryck who originally set the group
up has appointed me as moderator of this list.

 

We have encountered some unpleasant
spam messages recently and there have been inappropriate things like links
to betting and porn sites placed on the list's webpage.

 

Starting right now the procedure for
new members has been changed so that I have to approve anyone before they
can join the list. Also their first posting will be approved before it
appears on the list, this will mean that 99% of spam messages will be eliminated.

 

Also I've been to the management
page and removed the previously mentioned links that were on there. When I have
some time I'll go back through the message archive and get rid of any more I
find there.

 

None of the above will affect
existing members in any way, you can carry on posting and reading messages in
the normal way. I hope this will make everyone's enjoyment of our group better.

 

Bill.

Hi Carie,

Just checked out the item……..I would love to have something
signed by Howard Lang, my favorite character fron the OL.

Is any one else on the group going to bid? I wouldn't want to push
the bid up on a fellow list member.

The group has been a bit quiet lately but I know for me its just a
busy time of year, plus the extra hassle of selling and shifting
home….

It was really neat to hear your comments on Mike, sounds like you had
an
excellent time, he really dose sound like a very nice guy.

Last thing, another big thanks to you Carie for all your effort and
time you put into the site, its very much appreciated!

Brenton.

[axa2210]

Hi
there,

 

Well
my least favorite character would have to be the grown up Charlotte…….played
by I think Laura Hartog…….just a really annoying character all-round, sorry
sounds a bit harsh but to beat out Sarah on the moanometer she has to be pretty
bad.

 

Brenton.

 

PS:
Thanks for the pics Carie they really look great!

[shiponedingroup] Onedin Polls

Calling all shipmates
again .....

Here goes with the second poll.  It would be nice if
we could achieve
a 50% response rate - it only takes a minute to
vote!

The subject this time is:

WHO IS YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE
CHARACTER?

Only one vote please.  Reasons welcome.

Voting
closes midnight GMT on Sunday, 15 March.

My least favourite
character is Emma Callon.  It's not the actress,
Jane Seymour, it's
the character who I find very irritating and a
waste of time - I'd rather
be watching James, Anne, Elizabeth,
Captain Baines ...... even
Sarah.  I usually fast forward through the
scenes with
Emma.

[axa2210]

Hi
Bill,

 

Well
I'd certainly like a copy, bearing in mind I'm in NZ………..but I can
copy Cd's on my PC so can forward some on to other group members. 

 

Brenton.

[shiponedingroup] Update from the capture zone [was – Ice and
Fire]

Good news I got my new capture card today and
installed it.

I have had to give up on ice and fire at the moment
because of the poor
condition of the VHS tape but I am hopeful that a
rather better vcr than
mine might be able to get a reasonable copy of it,
I'll see if I can borrow
one.

As an experiment I have copied a
series 7 episode entitled "Dirty Cargo"
partly because the tape was in
reasonable condition and because it is a good
story all contained in one
episode.

Using the best bit rate my old pc can manage this has resulted
in a 480 Mb
file which will easily fit on a CD-r and will play with the
Windows Media
player. It while not anywhere near DVD (or even good VHS)
quality it is good
and not too bad to watch even on full screen on my 17"
monitor.

So who wants a copy? I'll start the ball rolling with 2 on the
understanding
the recipients will copy it and send on to other members of
the list.

Bill (who has now found that to work the capture card and
software with all
their features now needs a major pc
upgrade!)

[axa2210]

Hi
Bill,

 

Just
tried your sampler, as you say not great quality but still any chance to see a
small snippet of Onedin Line is much appreciated!

 

I
would certainly be interested in any chance to have a copy of any episode
passed series two, I would tend to favour the Cd-r option, I can forward copies
to any one this far down the map (New Zealand/Australia).

 

Well
good luck and thanks for all your efforts, I'm sure we all really appreciate
it!

 

Cheers,

Brenton.

[shiponedingroup] Experiment a short test clip from Episode – Ice and
Fire

I have a number of problems to solve yet, a poor
quality VHS tape copy, also
sound synchronisation (because of the old
hardware / software I have).

Anyway I have uploaded a little bit in WMA
format to the file area just to
show I have not been idle. It is
"Onedin.zip"

A new capture card for the pc is ordered and should
hopefully solve some of
the problems. Also I am looking for a frame
stabiliser for the output from
the VCR.

Hi
Diana and the rest of the crew,

 

My
vote would be spilt between James Onedin and the oft
forgotten Mr. Baines………Howard Lang did a wonderful job bringing that
character to life, he really dose look and act the part of a crusty old sea
dog!

 

Excellent to see the interest from this pole.

 

C'ya

[shiponedingroup] Onedin Poles

Calling all
shipmates,

There hasn't been much activity from the group of late plus
some
members haven't posted much so I thought that if we held a few poles

perhaps that would get everyone participating a bit more.

I'll
collate the votes and confirm the winner (assuming there are
sufficient
responses!).

To start things off .....

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE
ONEDIN CHARACTER?

You can give reasons if you wish.
Voting closes
midnight GMT 29 February (next Sunday evening).

My vote goes to the
wonderful Anne Onedin.

Hope everyone will take
part.

Hi
everyone,

 

Well
that answers a question I was going to ask…………….I also found Gemma's
site a year or two ago then lost it, I couldn't work out why it had suddenly
disappeared off the net.

Hopefully it will be resurrected, it was an excellent site, very well put
together.

 

Over
here in New Zealand we have just had a UK channel added to our Sky programming,
I'm hoping that at some point the Onedin Line may be broadcast
again………..you never know.

 

Well
all the beast and an excellent X-mas/New Year to all.

 

Brenton.

[shiponedingroup] Onedin Line Website

Hello Erika and
welcome to the group.

I can help with your query about what happened to
the Onedin Line
site.  I also exchanged a number of e-mails with the
site owner,
Gemma during 2002.  There was a problem with something
illegal on the
site and it was closed down by BT just over a year ago I
think.  When
I last heard from Gemma in February/March this year she
said the site
was in the process of being set up with another Internet
provider and
that she hoped to have it up not long after Easter.  But
I haven't
heard from her since and no sign of her website unfortunately
.....

I hope for your sake that your TV station broadcast more than the

first six episodes.  I wish someone would broadcast the whole series

again in the UK - you'd think with all the channels these days
someone
would!

Season's Greetings to
everyone.

Diana
