I am a little surprised that the Beeb has not followed its frequently applied policy of making all episodes available following the broadcast of the first pair of episodes.Annoyingly listening to and commenting on radio 3...

Thanks, frankie. Colin Douglas! Yes, just couldn't remember his surname.
Good point, Heldenleben, about the theme tune for 'A Family at War'. I wonder whose idea it was to use that VW tune ; an inspired choice.
The use of the Khatchaturian theme mde a best seller of SXL 6000 whih had languished inthe Decca catalogue until then. But the incidental music within the episodes of 'The Onedin Line' was a treasure-trove of Bax, Moeran, Sibelius, Bartok, even Schoenberg. etc. Watching it is like a music quiz.

I just watched the BBC programme on Porton Down. It's quite interesting to know what they're up to just a few miles up the A30, and also quite interesting to see how many buildings there they weren't allowed into as well as how few questions were actually answered by the po-faced head of the establishment.

Watched the ‘episodes 1&2’ first part via iPlayer last night - what gripping stuff, and yes a very effective and evocative sound track by Eric
I realise that I was aware of the series and its theme & mood back in the ‘80s without ever having actually watched it (unless I’ve comprehensively forgotten all details )… Shall definitely watch it all this time round."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
