Katy,

I did one for you before was it 2011?

Anyway yes I can record that, but do remind me nearer to the day just in
case it slips my memory.

If you have broadband connection I can put it on a cloud service for
downloading, or post on a disc like last time.

Bill.

Bill,

Years ago I remember a BBC radio interview with Cyril Abraham, in which he
mentioned that he had intended to write the story of the shipping line right
up to the (then) present day which was the 20th century.

There's mention of this on the wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onedin_Line.

I always wondered if any of the 20th century story was ever written down
anywhere?

Bill.

Subject: [shiponedingroup] Re: Onedin Polls

Why no Episode 10?

I worked (Music Adviser) on the last series of the show and can offer some
insights into this. The fact is that there was only just a Series 8. BBC
Drama (Series and Serials) were very reluctant to commission the last
series; they thought that the show had run its course. One problem was that
the producer, Geraint Morris, was already thinking about his next
commissioned show (King's Royal), and was also working on a new series that
was going to showcase Jessica Bentham – The Heywood Files. The Heywood Files
went all the way through the commissioning process (I was listed to write
the music) before being shot down at the very last moment. At best, Geraint
was phoning it in on The Onedin Line's last series, and frequently said so.

Series 8 was not a happy show. Geraint Morris and veteran director Gerry
Blake had a simmering feud at best, fueled largely by Geraint's shameless
nepotism and Welsh-centricity; by Series 8, the language of the control
gallery was most emphatically Welsh, with the producer, half the directors,
half the DA's (one was Geraint's nephew) and the Production Manager leaping
into Celtic-language titters at every opportunity, to the snarling fury of
all around them (and I write as a Gaelic speaker). Meanwhile, the script
editor (Mervyn Haisman) was driving the show further and further into soap
opera, to the horror of the standing cast. Merv the Scribe (as we called
him, more or less affectionately) actually drafted an Episode 10 for Series
8, but it had so many insane plot twists and character implausibilities that
it was put down long before it could be produced.

At the end of the very last dub of the very last show, just after Peter had
intoned "I've got a son," Gerry Blake turned to me and the Sound Manager and
said "Thank God that's over. If we tried to make another series of this
thing, someone would get hurt." We then all went and got very, very drunk.

Hello and welcome.

Apologies for the long wait you have had before your message appeared on the
list. Technical difficulties and bad weather to blame.

Our readers in North America will be glad of the link to region 1 discs, I
know this has been a problem as PAL region 2 discs are not easily played by
the equipment on sale there.

It is indeed sad news.

Peter made the part of James Onedin into something special. Coupled to the other fine actors and actresses in the series really turned out something that I doubt will be matched again in a TV series.

Condolences to his wife Anne and his family and friends.

Bill.

Must admit it has been a while since I watched the series, I don't actually
remember what happened about this.

It seems to take a few months or so for me to go through the whole series so
maybe it is time to start again!

James is approached by a very important looking man to carry a secret
passenger to Italy and despite being told that he had been recommended by
Callon, he asks for a fee of £400, to appease Robert who needs at least £350
to buy a new shop. He and Sarah are now living in the old warehouse.
Baines has been taken ill and a seaman arrives to offer himself as Mate.
James hires him, tells Anne to make the cabin shine for the passenger, who
then arrives at the point of departure.
The stranger carries a pistol, much to James' disapproval as captain of the
ship, and he appears like someone who is used to being obeyed. The stranger
charms Anne who engages him in conversation but he does not tell her his
name. When walking on deck, James has to take action to prevent an injury to
the man from a falling block caused by a crew member cutting a rope. The new
mate and several members of the crew are paid assassins to prevent Guiseppe
Garibaldi returning to Italy and uniting the country.
James and Anne are informed of the danger to Garibaldi and of his mission
but James refuses to land him secretly in Sardinia and wants to go straight
to Livorgno to save time and gain his bonus for a fast passage with his
cargo.
James is called for by the mate and his co conspirators and held as hostage
to attract Garibaldi on deck. Garibaldi emerges and admits to knowing what
is to happen. He asks to discharge his pistol as a matter of honour, which
he is allowed to do but, as a man approaches with a knife, Garibaldi shoots
him with his new repeating revolver and James breaks free to help overpower
the assailants.
A British ship is sighted. It has been sent to escort Garibaldi to Italy and
he takes his leave of James, telling him that he would not lack for trade in
Italy when he, Garibaldi, unites the country.
On their return to Liverpool, James and Anne are met by Robert who is
reading the latest news about Garibaldi's arrival in Italy and his success
at rallying the people to him. James wants to hear about Robert's new shop
that Albert has advised him to buy with the money James has received rather
than the one that Callon suggested. James tells Robert that it will be ` Our
third company – Onedin Chandlers Ltd'. Robert protests that it is not fair
and that it should be a replacement for the shop he had owned. James
exclaims `Fair?! Now.. Let me see.. Did you get Garibaldi back to Italy or
did I?'

Dear Bill,
thankyou for putting Homecoming on the site. I attach the next when you
have time to do it. You do a great job – hope it doesn't take up too much
time.

Series 1. Episode 9. WHEN MY SHIP COMES HOME. By David Weir.
Description by Viv Dodd.
The Maisie Agnes, a ship that James has chartered from Callon, is lost at
sea. The insurers refuse to pay out because the captain carried gunpowder
and so James and Anne set out for London so that James can see them and
plead his case.
Callon learns from his son, Edmund, that James is responsible for the cost
of the ship and cargo and sees an opportunity to impoverish James and puts
pressure on Robert to sell his shop cheaply so that Callon could demolish it
to build a new dock.
James talks to Mr Chubb from the insurers but is told that nothing can be
done about his loss. Anne enjoys the shops in London and the nearness to the
Queen but James returns to the hotel in a bad mood and explains the dire
situation to Anne. Captain Goodie from the Maisie Agnes arrives and tells
James that Chubb, as the senior partner in the firm, could be more lenient
and James writes a statement that would absolve him from his responsibility
for the cost of the ship which he intends Chubb to sign after getting him
drunk. However, after a visit to `Kate's' high class brothel, Chubb returns
James to Anne in the hotel, drugged and with the paper unsigned.
James and Anne return to Liverpool to collect any money they can to pay
James debt to Callon but Robert and family are evicted from their shop and
the Charlotte Rhodes is distrained and guarded so that James cannot use her
to make money. As James' Onedin companies are limited liability Callon
cannot take all his wealth but can stop him trading.
James and Baines steal the ship and think they leave Anne behind to cover
their tracks but she has stowed away. James makes for Gibraltar where he
buys guns and powder to sell to tribesmen in North Africa. They have a close
encounter with a French gunship but eventually James does the trade.
Anne disapproves of trade in guns but James is delighted `£2,000 clear
profit'. `Every penny spoken for', Anne reminds James.
`Forgive a rich man anything?', James asks his wife. `Not your brother
Robert nor Sarah – ever', Anne says reprovingly. But James is keen for Anne
to share his pleasure, `And you Anne, You?' Anne smiles wanly and looks
away. She is beginning to provide James with a `conscience'.
