Hi all,

 

Just wanted to let you all know that i have sent an email to UKTV drama concerning the showing of further episodes, hopefully i will receive an answer, will let you know if this is the case.

 

Regards,

 

Carie

Thanks for that I'll keep an eye out for the repeats. The cuts occur in all of the episodes UK Drama have aired to a lesser or greater degree I think, so as to cram in all the important advertising into the hour slot!

Hi Bill,

 

I think it's likely that UKTV Drama are going to show the episodes again during September so you can record it yourself then with a bit of luck.  Wind Blows Free is being shown again on 31 August and I'm assuming they will continue with the rest of series one and two. The September schedule should be available any day now so will let you know.

 

If not, I have recorded all the episodes, though on VHS not DVD.

 

Has anyone watched 'Frisco Bound on UKTV Drama?  I watched the episode this morning and couldn't believe the cuts they made in the episode.   They're doing a worse job than the BBC did to the videos!

 

By the way, I haven't had a reply to my message to UKTV re showing the later series but I remember they were quite slow at responding when I emailed them previously.

Hello there,

 

Yes it is a very sad time for all his fans and of course his family.

 

If I could ask you all to be patient on this matter, as the news of Mike's death was supposed to have remained private until after his funeral on Monday when his family wanted to make a public announcement, this is mainly for his son Mike Jnr.

 

If you would like to make a donation for Macmillan Cancer Care or Marie Curie Cancer Care as this is the request of his family no flowers etc.

 

As members of Mike's fan team we ourselves have not sent any condolenses directly as this was the request of his family, and we felt also that now isn't the time..when we do we will be sure to say that any feelings or thoughts, sentiments will be passed on will come directly from his fan community..I will let you know so that you may like to pass on thoughts etc..or better still put them on the guestbook on the mikebillington fans site at http://www.mikebillingtonfans.com and we will be sure to read them and pass them at the right time.

 

Mike was 63, and as you may or may not already know, he had been suffering with Cancer for a few years but had kept that information private, none of us at the team knew,we were all in contact with Mike very often and would meet up with him so we were very shocked to learn of his illness, but to me this shows what a great person he was never to have burdened others with his own suffering, don't know how else to put it into words..

 

I hope this answers any questions and please I ask that you all respect the wishes of his family in terms of flowers etc

 

Many thanks,

 

Carie – Mike Billington Fans Team

 

 

— Yes i was very shocked and saddened. is there any wya of sending
condolences to his family? Does anyone know how old he was?

Hello to all members,

It is with regret that I have some terrible news regarding Mike
Billington, who as you know played the part of "Fogarty" in the first
3 series.

Sadly Mike has passed away in the last week.

If you go to http://www.mikebillingtonfans.com there is a message from all of
us at the team with some information.

Kind Regards,

Carie – on behalf of Mike Billington fans team.

Diana,

 

Yes that would be absolutely wonderful, this would be a great find to include on the Mike Billington fans site, thanks very much Diana, it is greatly appreciated……….

Carie,

Whilst searching for Anne & Peter info, I came across a couple of
theatre ads in a Scottish newspaper re Mike for Sleuth in early
1973. The issues I checked didn't include any articles but at least
one of the local papers would almost certainly have included a review
and possibly an interview. Are you interested if and when I find
more details?

HI all,

 

A fan meeting would be great, but perhaps I have missed something , where would it be?

 

However I would love to be a part of it, I am sure Mike would love to join in, he almost never seems to do conventions or anything that involve the Onedin Line. I think it would be just great if Peter and Anne could be a part of it as well, does anyone know how we could contact them and find out?? as well as Jessica, does she have an address we could write to and ask, once of course things are organized?? Philip Bond as well that would be good too….perhaps we should get on to the idea and see what we as a group can come up with, I think it is worth looking into???

 

Carie.

Mathias <onedinlinie@yahoo.de> wrote:

Yes, we should realize an Onedin fan event next year. I think, Mike
Billington at least would like to come.
When I see that he's time enough to correspond with his fans on
his
notice board, I will believe that.
And I believe, Jessica would accept an invitation too. Anne &
Peter…I don't know. They are already a little bit older and
perhaps
the Onedin Line is history for a long time.

Other proposal: We could make a common international Onedin Line
Fanpage in English, Dutch, German and pehaps in more languages. The
first step is done. Of course, I know, we all have not so much spare
time. Anyhow – this another great wish of me 😉

No I am sure that isn't right either, more like in her fifties,
having spoken to Mike Billington briefly about Jessica, we were
discussing series 3, I thought the characters were more solid, and
established he agreed saying Jessica was very young when it started,
which would indicate she was alot younger than him, now he is 62 born
1942, hope this helps….

Bill is the guy that does all the discs, that I send on to Helga. I am sure he won't mind you contacting him, he is the expert when it comes to transferring video to cd.

 

His email is in the members list William Whittaker, I am sure he will help you with this..

Hi Bill,

 

Yes I have got your emails, sorry, I haven't been feeling very well.

 

I tried doing what you said but it still won't play!, but I did receive your email concerning the codecs, it is easily done when dealing with so many discs.

 

I hope you are enjoying your holiday? Hope you are, and thanks again for your help with the discs, but worth the effort, I can't wait for the next instalment, series 3 ends with a bit of a cliffhangar..

 

Regards,

 

Carie.

Hi,

 

It isn't a magazine, it is a hard back book, it tells you all about the filming etc etc, and about a real life James Onedin, it was published in 1977, the radio times did loads of articles, about Onedin, between us  all here we have copies of the different ones.

Hi all,

 

Well, I suspect what you say is quite true, in regard to progress, well isn't that testament to the sociey is now, very throw away? If it doesn't make money, or isn't worth anything, let's knock it down and start again!

 

When I visited Exeter quay recently, you can see that it is very similar to what you see in Onedin, but they have yes you guessed it built dockside flats, luxury apartments, that really spoils the oldy worldy look! Dartmouth is probably one of the few places that still looks exactly like it did when Onedin were there.

 

Mike also gave me another location that they used as well, apparently, I didn't know this but some of you here might, that Anne Stallybrass wasn't the first choice to play Anne Onedin, he did tell me who it was but I can't rememeber here name!!, they used Bristol docks to re film the pilot with Anne in the Anne Onedin role.

 

He also told me about Edward Chapman, apparently he used to hold up filming quite alot, as he was lets say fond of a few drinks or two!! so that's why his character was written out.  I don't know if any of you have the books, but the character is in the story alot more than is portrayed by the tv show.  Mike did say he thought that was a shame as Edward Chapman was a fine classical actor, and he rather admired some of his other acting roles.

 

Ok I will shut up now!!

 

Take care all

 

Carie.

Hello All,

 

In response to Bill's question regarding locations.

 

I was never aware of Liverpool being used for any Onedin filming, I don't believe any period warehousing or quaysides were left undeveloped by the 70's but also the Mersey is a muddy & fast flowing river when the tide turns with a large tidal range, most if not all the docks were accessible only by lock gates which wouldn't have made it suitable for economical location filming.

 

I remember the crew of the 'Soren' bemoaning the barring of Exeter docks to tall masted ships due to the motorway bridge being built, I believe some filming was done there as their buildings, particularly those of the maritime museum, were unadulterated.

 

Gloucester docks I know were used primarily because the warehouses were still 'as built' & I presume the local council encouraged the arrival of the ships. Sadly I see the builders are in & soon all the dirty brickwork will be scrubbed clean & the docksides will take on the look of so many British docks, that of up-market flats & offices. Thankfully Tommi Nielsen is running the two drydocks there so hopefully ships with bowsprits & yards will still make the journey & gladden the heart of this landlocked sailor.

 

Falmouth was another port in favour with the film companies. Large docks, clean blue sea accessible at any time of day or night, cobbled Napoleonic quaysides (now built on by flats & offices!) nearby large country houses & period doors & alleyways for street scenes. 

The Cornish coastline gave the oportunity to test the imagination as it became either the Bulgarian coast or a jungle river or a tropical island, or any other location required. Versatile place Cornwall.

 

Another port which might have been used in the early days of the Onedin Line is Ipswich. I sailed in there on the Norwegian full rigged ship 'Sorlandet' back in the early 80's, the inevitible road bridge was about to be completed so I suspect this little dock is now no longer available to larger sailing ships. Progress?

 

Regards,

Rick.

Hi Shipmates!

I wasn't sure if any of you check Mike Billington's website, just for
your interest, Mike is attending the NEC as part of a memorabilia
event, although he will be there with Bond actors, of course I am
sure he would be willing to talk ONEDIN with anyone!, just thought I
would let you all know..I'm going so for those if you are interested
I will get photo's etc. If you can't attend perhaps you all might
have questions or anything you might like me to ask him, and I will
do so, the event is 17/18th April, so let me know beforehand, and I
will do my best to get the answers and post them here, I don't know
it was just a thought?……

Carie
