Fabulous,I’m watching and thoroughly enjoying the daily showings on Drama…and the wonderful thing to me, its totally void of quotas,diversity and wokery!
Yep, I watched this avidly in the 80s and I’ve just finished watching it all again from start to finish. Brilliant series; drama, intrigue, passion, greed, glamour, tragedy, treachery.. it had it all, set against a glorious back drop. It was escapism for sure, but it symbolised what we all aspired to, and made us believe that anything was possible.
I was a kid in the 80s so this show slightly passed me by . Though the theme tune and openning sequence of yachting and yachts must have had a strong effect on me because I'm watching it all now and loving it.
It was fabulous. I moved back south in the 80s and lived near where this programme was made. Fantast I loved every minute of it and now watching it again.
Love it and have since shared it with my wife. Remember one occasion when we were parking up on the way home from the south coast to watch Leo’s boat race. Brilliant programme
I'm still watching & it's still not ageing! (Great) Yet unfortunately I am!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fun Fact....I used to help care for Tony Anholt's mother & she was a lovely lady. Rip Both ❤ 🙏
Loved it then and love it now, tape it every night, still have 39 to watch !! Even my drama hating husband of 76 yrs old loves it!! For me it reminds me of my sailing days in Sydney age 25 so very nostalgic. I went to the CYCA or some Ladies Sailing classes, thought yes I am happy getting feet wet in and out of a dingy as I had in Lymington. The yachts I learned on were massive 60ft or one was 90ft ! "Love and War" was a well known beautiful wooden yacht that won Sydney/Hobart I sailed on. Warren Mitchell was a keen yachtsman out there among us. Every day after work in the city I ran down with my tinned mussels for tea on board! I even got a place as a hostess for the Sydney Hobart !! Oh yes Howards Way was very true to the Yachting life. When I came back to the UK, I worked in a pub and I somehow was given a lift to the IOW in a private 2 seater plane and chauffeured for the day at Cowes Week. I was just like Lynne Howard back then, but not a good actress though. Thank you all who made it work and wrote it. Bless you all.
I've just been watching the brothers on the brilliant channel talking pictures, I remember it in the seventies when I was about 12, thought it was boring then but it's brilliant, I loved Howard's way when it came out as I lived near Burnham on crouch and worked making boat windows, I didn't know these shows were related
The 80s when Britain was still great. Sadly, in the decades since we have seen a steady decline on every level that had previously made Britain the greatest country in the world.
Love these sort of docos. Nothing like a group of people who were far too young to be watching or understand making comments about a tv they really never experienced. And that’s in spades here.
What are you talking about? Gary Russell would have been in his mid 20's and Matthew Sweet in his early 20's when the show was going out. Both are well qualified to be speaking in this documentary.
Loved it, loved it, loved it. I so wanted to be Charles Frere (R.I.P. Tony Anholt); alas, I'll have to settle with owning the complete dvd box set. I've got the individual series dvd box sets if anyone wants them!
My Dad's family actually hail from Burnham On Crouch in Essex but he hates this show. It's nothing like the real thing in Burnham. At least according to him. I see the paralels but Howards Way has more of a touch of Dallas thrown in. 😅😊😂. He'll kill me for saying so.
Oh great ! Bang goes the cliff hanger of whether Lyn survived her drop in the water ending to series 1. Thanks for the spoiler! (Only 30/ 40 years late 😁🤣😠

I was however distressed that slimeball Masters came out on top. I cursed him first time round and this!
@lolsplace
Simply the best programme of its time..we need more wonderful acting like this in todays world.....
I was hooked on Howards Way, I thought it was great. I was so upset when the actor Maurice Colbourne died. I really liked his character Tom
Jan Harvey still looks absolutely beautiful. Pure nostalgia before the world went mad
This was BBC Drama at its peak, great writers, cast and crew.

Where did you watch it ?
@@oldenglishsheepdogfun5960 It’s all on UA-cam (with episodes split into 2 parts)
I'm watching it again now!
It's still good & doesn't age ❤

Thanks for uploading this review - l missed this. Howards’ Way was made in my village!
Local lad as well - I'm in Hedge End 8-) I pass the set on Hamble Bridge most days.
Dear old burseldon

When the guy said she ran her international fashion house from her kitchen I knew I had to find this show and start streaming.
Where did you find it ?
I'm still watching & it's still not ageing! (Great)
Yet unfortunately I am!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fun Fact....I used to help care for Tony Anholt's mother & she was a lovely lady. Rip Both ❤ 🙏
Was a brilliant series always enjoyed watching it some great characters👍
still a great tv series with lovely settings and the unforgettable theme tune and ending title, still raises the hairs on the back of my neck ❤

RIP Maurice Colbourne. 😢😢😢😖😭
I used to watch this soap like drama serial every Sunday night when it was on.
it aired in Australia at the height of my yacht racing days!
14:09 - tracey childs was an absolute stunner; that body !
"Southampton Gordon Gekko"😂
Howards Way Walks are starting in May 2023 - phone the Jolly Sailor for details!
This meant just one thing for people of a certain generation. Weekend over and back to school the following morning!
got the full boxset must watch it again really enjoy it
Wonderful stuff xx

No other British TV Series encapsulates the 80s as much as Howard’s Way.
I was obsessed with it here in Australia and I was in Grade 4 primary school!
Ken Masters was the MAN.
best program ever.
Should have interviewed Simon May for this.
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 Well, he is still alive and kicking in 2022.
The 80s when Britain was still great. Sadly, in the decades since we have seen a steady decline on every level that had previously made Britain the greatest country in the world.
I'm watching HW now on Satellite TV (U&Drama) at the moment - I am up to Series 1 Episode 11 LOL - very posh!

Be good to find the rest of the series of the cult of Sunday night
Loved it, loved it, loved it. I so wanted to be Charles Frere (R.I.P. Tony Anholt); alas, I'll have to settle with owning the complete dvd box set.
I've got the individual series dvd box sets if anyone wants them!
Me too agree 100%!
Was originally aired in 2010.
Great camp moments
13:50 - I watched it when I was like 6 ?
It wasn't that glossy. It was more Crossroads than Dallas
As was said it was produced before the American junk
Maybe not but glossy by UK standard's unless you think its about naff yuppies.
Indèed so too
Superb series & all superb white actors🙂🇬🇧👏👏
There was plenty of material to have made a 7th season.
My Dad's family actually hail from Burnham On Crouch in Essex but he hates this show. It's nothing like the real thing in Burnham. At least according to him.
I see the paralels but Howards Way has more of a touch of Dallas thrown in. 😅😊😂. He'll kill me for saying so.
watching it all on demand nearly finished,great series but the left would say its to white nowdays god bless old england
Ken Masters ? Who needs J.R. Ewing when you've got Ken! 😂😊😎👴😈😈😈
WHEN WAS THIS ?? WHAT YEAR WAS THIS DOC ??
Oh great ! Bang goes the cliff hanger of whether Lyn survived her drop in the water ending to series 1. Thanks for the spoiler! (Only 30/ 40 years late 😁🤣😠
