Man, this brings back memories, nostalgia will do that I suppose. Real actors doing great drama, sadly so many gone now. Trying to think of an equivalent today. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I loved this series so much & im happy that currently it’s on British telly on Saturday mornings ( 3 episodes !! ) l love British social history & this series is social history at its best. ( in my opinion anyway)
The cast was perfect in this series, i especially loved John Nightingale as Tom, had he not died so young he would have done so many more brilliant things.
The final series was a let down ............. all about Jack Ford living in London, it took away from the whole atmosphere of the NE. It should have finished when he went to the states

This was & still is one of my favourite TV programmes. Along with my favourite accent. ❤
Jean Heywood was brilliant as Mrs. Seaton, she reminded me of my gran.
@jonathangriffin1120 She played Mrs Seaton so well. She was like my dad's mum. They were strong characters, back, then.
God, I remember this being on as a child. "Dance for your daddy, my little laddy, when the boat comes in". Seems a lifetime ago.
Bella was Bills wife in the series.
When I was young, I thought this was called Wendy Boat Came In.
Sadly only two of the original cast still with us.
At least three as Madelaine Newton wasnt included & is still about

John Nightingale died tragically early

Astonishing. if the cancer didn't take them, they all lived to a ripe old age.
