— i liked the ending, except for Eliz losing Daniel when they were
hoepuflly going to have a reconciliation…

and i was pleaseed that J had a son at last, (but pletny of scoepe
for conflict in later years – son wanting to become an actor instead
of a shipowner, or wnating to build #steamships!!) and I liked Margar

I know that Daniel died, was it in a shipping disaster?

That would be an enlightening bit of revelelation.
I
enjoyed teh series on Public Broadcasting (Channel 10)
in Wisconsin. Though I may have only seen part of the
series in the late 70s. My final chapter was where
one sees Mrs. Onedin breastfeeding someone's child
(I wasn't supposed to see that on US TV). I am going
to check to see if this great series is on VHS or DVD
at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
As far as it being well received I would think that
it would be as well achieved as another BBC production
"Doctor Who". It is sometimes unfortunate, and very
confusing at times, when actors/actresses are
replaced.
As far as where Mr. Abraham got the name 'Onedin' it
may have some historical connotations. But I know
others on this forum might know the real answers.

Diana,

Thank you sooo much for the information. 

Yes, my two DVDs are BFS produced.  Bottom line seems to be that "The
Homecoming" is as far as my 4 DVD disks go.  "The Homecoming" is the title
of the last set of chapters. BFS made this confusing by chopping up the eight 60
minute episodes into 48 chapters(four CDs with 12 chapters on each). However,
there are a total of eight main story headings on the four CDs.

there are 92 episodes, and I only have 8.  What a tragedy.

 

Again, thank you for your concern. 

 

Ron

Hi Ron,

Assuming the DVDs you purchased recently are those
produced by BFS
Entertainment, they only contain the first eight episodes
from series
one.

The complete eight series have never been released
on video or DVD
unfortunately.

The first two series are available
in England, though cuts have been
made to these.

In addition,
series three has recently been released on DVD in the

Netherlands.

We can only hope that the Dutch company will release
further series
in the future.

A complete (and accurate) list of
Onedin Line episodes can be found
in the Files section of this
group.

Hope this helps.
Diana

Hi Ron,
It can get confusing with any series. You might
consider checking with Barnes & Noble Bookstores.
They may have access to the complete series in various
sets.
Yes I remember the series from the 70s as well and
thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to get it soon.

If these are the same ones as at Amazon.com, there are only 4 episodes in
each (2 DVDs per set) and both sets are, I believe, from the first season.

This is the link for set 2 which I have:

Hi,
I'd like to thank all that assisted me in finding this series on
DVD. Just a note to let everyone know Barnes and Noble Booksellers
has it listed on their website as available. About $40. It's Series
1 and 2. There are 4 DVDs per season and each series is available
separately.

I haven't seen "Frisco Bound" for over a quarter
century, but I remember that was the first episode of
that show that I watched. If I am not mistaken, during
one scene, when the riggers were on one of the top
sailing frames (from where the sails hang) while it
was windy, the music that was being played was from
the 3rd movement of Shostakovich's Symphony #5.

Meeting

 

• 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 😉

  Regards
  Mathias.
