Yep, the dutch region 2 DVD's are exactly like this, 3 or 4 episodes,
one after each other, without a break or the title music. The good thing
is, that you have a whole season with one of these sets.Reinhard from Austria

A great series too bad it's not available in its
entirety. It was broadcast in the 70s (?). It may
not
have been as popular in the US as in England, but I
know I enjoyed it. Good acting and sailing ships,
too.
Unfortunately I can't play PAL on my VCR. Darn. I
wonder if UK DVDs are compatible.
Thanks again for the info.

http://mail.yahoo.comhi Ron, what do you find unnerving? Im a big big fan of the show, I
ahave seen all the eps whn I was a child, or v nearly and I've got
some of them on video, so I can bore you wiht information…Im wondering are you misunderstanding the term aristocrat which in
England is applied to a v small minority who are rich, well bred anad
mostly who were landowners. Thye were thte ruling class in the 19th
C , but gradually people from the midldle classes who began to make
large fortunes in trade or industry began to take part in politics,
to buy up landed estates and generally to become part fo the ruling
elite as well.JO is typical of THIS rising class.. he starts off as a shopkeeper's
son, not poor but far from rich. His family own a small business.
Anne, his first wife, is not higher than him socially – or perhaps
just a tiny bit. Her fathter was in the Navy, which is a tiny cut
above trade, and he managed ot buy a ship to make some money in his
old age. However, he is not much a businessman and he is alos a
drunk which is why he ends up deciding to sell the ship for ready
money. and Anne then suggests to James that if he were to marry her
and take care of her, he could have hte ship for free.not sure what you mean by Her sister?

> Ron— yes I agree… there was a bond, but James is a hard man – not
completley ruthless but deeply selfish – who has grown up in a hard
world and has litlte time for feelings.I agree too about the proposal to Leonora – but the whole series 3
was weak becuase it tried to make James inot a womaniser whch he
wasnt'. He was too busy making money to be interested in women – and
i beleive that Peter Gilmore refused ot do any more shows unless they
made James more like his old self…I can just about think he chose Leonora because Caroline had turned
him down repeatedly and he wanted to remarry and have soemone to keep
house anad look after his child, plus probably he woudl have liekd to
have a son by her – and she was rich and pretty. I think that he idd
like her a bit – but the proposal was mostly out of selfish rasons.G

> http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mailHi Stuart,
Not really (though possibly puzzling). JO was
basically an aristocrat from the beginning (?) and
married Anne to gain the shipping line. WB was just a
common sailor who worked his way up. Though it does
seem confusing at times why JO would not consider WB
his equal (when it was Capt. WB) it is sort of the
caste system of the victorian era.
Searching for WB in Labrador would have been the
code of the sea (going to another's distress) and
would
not necessarily mean they were buddy-buddy.
I have not seen all the eps but what happen to Anne
Onedin? Did she die or get a divorce from James?

http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail— I dont quite know waht you mean? They were not socially eqauls
and James actually didn't seem incliend to wnat a more equitable
relationsip – though Im not sure what form that would take? – in fact
at every attempt by Baines to set up on his own, James took offence
and quarreeled with him.G

running a business like that)… she is a loving mother, she is a

James – adn a good friend to Anne and Letty… and she is good fun as
well, and likes to enjoy life.G

no, im sure it was not anne. She could not have breastfed a baby as
she died after teh conclusion of her only succesful pregnancy, (ie
wehn Charlotte was born) so it woudl have been unlikely if not
downright impossbile for her to lactate.im sure you are thinking of the ep where she left james and moved in
with the wife of the strike leader, Mrs Jessop who had a young baby.
Series 2 ended wiht Ann'es deaht in Chidlbirht adn series 3 ended
with James trying to befreind his daughter Charlotte who was now
meant to be about 9 or 10. (htey later changed hte ages sicne in
later seasons Charlotte had to be close in age to WIllaim Frazer
sicnce she had a romance with him).G

she had left james temporarily, and the woman had a baby whom she
breastfed…G
