Just came across this interview. Terrific insight into the production. Thank you.

I loved the Onedin Line. I had not seen anything before which portrayed the working life of the merchant sailing community. I was fascinated by the ships mainly but the 'politics' of doing business in that era was well portrayed.

Thanks Michael, fascinating stuff, you were involved in making so many of my favourite series … Blake’s 7 , Warship, The Onedin Line, Sutherland’s Law etc it’s great to hear your stories from the golden age of TV and read about the multitude of projects you have been involved in on your website.
