The look in jack's eyes when tom tells him about the bairn.

5:10 JP Justice of the Peace - a magistrate

when the how comes in man.

Great stuff ..very fond memories of watching When The Boat Comes In back in the day as a child with my family here in Dublin

Season 2 was easily my favourite.

A fantastic episode .I never could stand Billy .An arse of the upmost hole .

I remember the theme song of this show but I was too young to remember anything else.

I don't think I will get anyone that famous on my channel - well done!

It was interesting as the show progressed how Jack's chat-up line began to lose its power and descend into a cliché...much as Jack's way with women did.

brilliant acting brilliant

Jack was more angry when Tom told him about dolly and their baby than them being together I don't remember if she said she was barron or not?

Jack should've stayed with Jessie I think he regretted that he cheated.

I thought Jessie's husband Ashton was a bit stuck up for a school headmaster.

Love your podcast.

Billy seaton was a selfish man really owing over a thousand pounds to his dad Bill and mam Bella im sure he owed Tom aswell?

I love this series but the last series were jack ford get killed l wish he came out of world war 2 alive and super rich

What a fantastic series

Such a shame when Toms wife Mary died fromTB not so treatable then as today.

I adored this series ,especially series 1 and 2,would it be possible to interview james bolam ,i know he is very old and a private man ,but would be an honour ,thanx for the appriciation of this brilliantly written drama when the beeb were good

Loved the look on les mallows face when jack told him he knew about his sister.

Thanks for the video! Billy Seaton's hard-headed attitude to socialism was an accident waiting to happen. Like the GP in this episode, Billy seems to have ended-up living a comfortable existence in London, eventually. However, his unwavering commitment to the cause led to serious trouble for Jack..........

Bring Jack back to life. It ended to early. Best series ever Bony Lass.

A dark ending for jack ford being killed whilst gun running I think in Spain.

great podcast bonnie lad. cant find the torrent

👍

…if you watch that series you realise the tories and rich have not changed one bit…

"You bloody ghoul..."

So pleased to find your podcast .. I've just come across series 3 on drama and I was delighted.

Hilarious 😂

Excellent acting and beautifully paced scene. A work of art

I always thought his final words should have been "What am I doing here Sergeant? I should be at the Savoy"

Just got the box set looking forward to watching it

Sad Tom and Billy both passed away in real life I think not long after.

It was the best thing on tvhreat cast and it hasn't aged

Why did Jessie say what she did?

Hi there...huge "Boat" fan. If you like this series did you ever watch "The Duchess of Duke Street"? Another brilliant BBC period drama from the 70's, actually based (looseley!) on the real life of Edwardian cook-to-the-stars Rosa Lewis and her rags-to-riches rise through the ranks of society from parlour maid to Edward VIII's favourite chef. Highly recommended! Thanks for this series by the way - about time someone did it! Thanks again!

Thats how to be a gentleman. Suave and no foul or crude language. When you watch this you realise just how far we have fallen.

Hi anyone interested series 1-4 are on a youtube channel called Time To Relax! Jack Ford.....What a guy!

Does anyone know where the series was filmed?

James Bolam in his prime. Finest acting on television in that era.

"And you shall have a little fishy on a little dishey" I rember this from the intro song- weird an ear worm from the past.

Susan Jameson was his real wife. I think this is the best thing the bbc ever did. I have it on DVD the whole 4 series.

This is when the bbc made Amazing programs instead of the crap they make now.

Lovely - I'm a WTBCI fanatic too. I love all the main characters, the Seatons are wonderful - I wonder why Bill and Bella weren't in the last series. Matt Headley was amazing - so decent and also so complex and therefore so interesting - I always thought the fight between him and Jack in series 3 was a terrible mistake. I love the way that the only person who 'defeated' Jack - over Jessie of course, by both marrying and keeping her - was the ostensibly feeble but really tough as they come Arthur Ashton. I'm throwing in random thoughts now. The Duke - sharp as a nail in the guise of an old eccentric - was riveting, as was the brutal yet somehow comedic Colefax (both actors!) There's also how perceptive Bill was - he understood Jack better than anyone, as indicated in the wonderful scene just before his back operation in Series 3 when he got to the root of everything - 'You're a damn fool you know. You should have married our Jessie', a remark so true it hit Jack for six. I think Jack has to be my favourite character of all, and I can't separate Series 2 and 3 as my favourite series (despite the Jack/Matt fight). There were some wonderful episodes in the other series of course, I loved the Series 4 episode about fascists and antisemitism for example. I hope to write some more!

I just did an episode on this show, I feel it is desperately under-rated and surely the best thing James Bolam ever did. You chose an absolutely classic clip here - thank you.

I remember seeing Susan Jameson in an episode of UFO there was a lot of actors of which apperared in that programme

Fantastic,gritty series,one of my favourite TV dramas👏🏻

Classic.

MY GRANNY WAS FROM NEWCASTLE GOD REST HER SOUL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😢😢😢😢😢😢
