      So, sorry to hear this Lorna. The cycle of life is hard for all us. But l believe there is more to life than many may think. There is a designer, or God. If one looks at the complex nature of how our body works internally. Take cortisol for instance. There is no way this vital harmone could have accidentally evolved. It is inconceivable that a superior mind, or being did not create this life saving harmone. Without it the human race would not have survived.
      I am going through a tough time at present. I am 67, and recently had a cancer scare. And spent 10 weeks in hospital. I am still not fully recovered. So take heart - we are not alone.
      Back to the great " Onedin Line." It was very popular in Ireland. I am Irish, and l can tell you that Irish people were glued to there TV sets minus the remote control. Lol. Peter Gilmore was a fine actor, and as you know was in many of the " Carry On," movies. The series and cast will never be forgotten. And the haunting theme by Katchaturian was so appropriate. Take care. Life is precious.

    I watched this series as a young kid (~7YO) almost 50 years ago... and it still sends shivers down my spine. It was then broadcast in black-and-white, and much that I know on Britains rule of the seas came from this series. The strange thing I learned 4 decades afterwards is that the theme (Khachaturians' Spartacus - here directed by the composer with the Vienna philharmonic orchestra) has absolutely nothing to do with either Britain or the Sea --- yet in my mind it will remain connected forever. Genius of selecting the theme... I think not too many knew the music before the Onedin line series too...

      Is it really him conducting the VPO? I do think the interpretation is fantastic - I was assuming it was the LPO having a particularly good day after too much to drink. At any rate, it sounds way way above anything average, even above normal BPO.

    Watched this at the time with my dad, we both loved it (and occasionally mum!). Dad was a keen sailor and in the immediate post-war era in UK skippered an old Pilot ketch smuggling contraband from France to the UK - it had a double bottom, he and his crew were never caught. He emigrated to Tasmania in 1949, subsequently meeting my mum, also a £10 pound pom in Hobart in 1950.
    In the early 1970s I recall visiting the then decrepit hulk of the 'Polly Woodside' barque in Melbourne with dad before her great restoration, even in her sad state, there was a magic about her. Dad continued to sail throughout his life at any opportunity with a few boats passing through his ownership. Fond memories.

    If that intro music doesn't get goosebumps every time. Perfect musically representation of a sail unfurling, filling with the wind and the ship going up and down with that horn signalling the rythym. That is my take anyway.

    My father loved the Onedin line. He was a pilot in the RAF. He spent a lot of his youth in Scarborough and said that if he hadn't been a pilot he'd have been a sailor.
    My Dad died at the age of 53, suddenly on Thursday 25th August 1978.
    On the Sunday the Onedin Line was playing on BBC1. I sat on the stairs and cried my eyes out listening to this beautiful music. Strong, caring and beautiful, just like my Dad.
