If anyone is interested this programme from 1971 is being shown on Drama starting on 6 January. I was still at school then!

I loved that programme but I don't have time to watch all the current programmed that I'd like to.

I remember that series.

It even inspired a real shipping line in Stockholm (Ånedinlinjen)

I was married then, and we always settled down to watch The Onedin Line, lovely opening music as I remember.

Brings back memories of my mum who loved this programme and the music. Happy tear in my eye.

Adagio from Spartacus by Khachaturian

I watched every episode, by myself. Children asleep and DH out playing with his band. Then off to dream of romance on the high seas.

Coincidence - I was listening to the theme on youtube yesterday!
We must watch the series - missed it when it was originally screened.
