[dorucataloi]

doamne bine era in copilarie !hei hei !multumesc !

[saxon954]

This is not the original.

[mican12001]

Peter Gilmore as Onedin still scares the living bejesus out of me. And I am a polar bear and thus rarely frightened.

[DeLorean4]

Press 4 for an epic ascension to glory!

[RocksNStars55]

Why can't TV still be like this?

[ornitorrinc999]

When I was a child, I wanted to be a sailorman, because the Onedin line

[CloverKane]

listening to this music, i feel like having a heaven right before my eyes... all the grace, all the happiness and beauty i can ever imagine........

[barneyboscoe]

in reality the ship was the ''Christian Raditsch'', a Norwegian Training ship from Oslo, It visited Douglas ,Isle of Manabout 1981/2, myself and some friends rowed out to it when it was at anchor,looking through the portholes we could see that the original oil lamps had been converted to electricity ,still very authentic.I believe she was burnt out several years later sadly.

[kieran196]

This has been shown on the yesterday channel recently, I used to hate it when I was a kid now I quite like it!

[Eyyoh77]

When I was a kid in Germany...a hundred years ago...the whole family saw these episodes on Saturday eve, ate fish with potatoes and drunk hot bläck tea with a little bit of run ...my father with a little bit more run.

What a wonderful time...you never come back.

[66wallabie]

I remember watching it on the ABC when I was a kid

I've never seen The Onedin Line. But what a beuatiful adaptation of composer Aram Khachaturian's work.

I believe The Onedin Line was on the BBC. I live in the U.S., so missed it. Maybe I'll buy the DVDs if they come out in NTSC format. Thanks for uploading this.

[dearmalika]

Que belleza, se me pone la piel de gallina al escuchar esta melodia.Me recuerdo de la serie de tv! Gracias!

muselmanenstadt - was willst du dort, mann?

[kerstinwernermironow]

@lillymarleen1968

Oh Du hast es gut. Ich wohne in Berlin leider nicht am Meer. Aber die Musik ist wunderschön. Die Serie fand ich auch gut. Aber Poldark war noch vieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel besser.

[nicolachess]

A legjobb tv sorozat amit valaha láttam. A zenéje is nagyon szép :-))

[Einigekatzeham]

ez szórakoztat engem :)))

[clazza01]

[Kenentigern7]

[LouishWaltz]

I've got the 'official' full stereo BBC version complete with sound effects.

[xanglat]

Than you very much @ Susana !

Really great !!

SMILE

[PyramidHead2000]

love this series, before my time I know, but I still love it

[R8MA]

ESTA MARAVILLOSA MÚSICA LA HA COMPUESTO KHACHATURIAM. (solo q se hizo famosa por la serie de TV) ..como casi siempre.. a los creadores.. es que ni los nombran!!! KHACHATRIAM!!!!  KHACHATURIAM!!!!!!!

[hedaglex]

excelente serie

[hedaglex]

excelente

[CaptainPugwash1000]

Shiver me timbers and splice the mainbrace. This tune lifts and falls like the ship which is the central character. I agree that Khatchaturian must have been inspired by the sea to compose a melody that is so like the rolling seaway. I should know, I spant many years on it at it's kindest and at it's worst. I learnt very early that if one plays games with the sea, the sea will play along, but if you want to fight it, it will always win. A lovely posting, thanks.

[LIVERLADD]

Its such a shame that these series of this show are not up on YT as it would be so popular.

[zurapDOR]

Armenian quality music

[hiyadroogs]

This is NOT the original theme from this series. The original theme was conducted by Khachaturian himself in 1963. This is not the theme that accompanied the opening credits.

[LaurentziuRo2010]

WOnderful post !

[summerblueseas]

Thanks for posting this one. Use to watch the show when I was in my early teens. I miss watching programs such as these.

[kezadrone]

Used in every movie involving sand. Oh hang on that's bollocks.. They didn't us it in The Mummy. Foget everything I've just typed here.. Why am I still typing?

[RMCKIE]

I loved this programme so much, I didn't know at the time that in later years I would spend years at sea travelling the world.

[katzotto]

Ez egy jó sorozat volt, gyönyörű zenével.

This series was a good, beautiful music.

[ikeoss]

I¨ve sailed on that ship! Its Called Christian Radisch and its a lovely ship and the fastest fullrigger on the ocean :D

[Alistairville]

I like the prominence this version gives to the oboe but the harp is way overboard! Lots of the Khachaturian gets chopped out but what's left makes for a great tune. Just hearing it takes me back to my childhood in the 70s.

[smilgate]

@Alistairville Actually I think it's the Cor Anglais with the tune at the beginning.

[Alistairville]

@smilgate ah - that makes more sense than oboe

[MultiSzasz]

nagyon szép zenéje volt

[mapacheplus]

Emocionante volver a ver estas imágenes y esta música después de 20 años ... casi la olvidé hasta que por pura casualidad la volví a escuchar esta melodía en la era de hielo 2

[AnElephantsChild]

Never realised this programme was shown all over the world.

The memories this brings back - I can smell Vosene & I'm starting to worry about not having done my maths home work !

(In britain this was shown on a Sunday night.)

.

Thank you for uploading this xx

[PabloCecil]

Oh how the time flies! I used to watch it as a teenager behind the Iron Courtain.

[nitaprastie]

@PabloCecil: so did I, as a child :). A wonderful TV series !!

[janiecat69]

LOVED this show and I'm not sure why. Me and my mother watched it together when I was but a lad. Loved the wealth rivalry between Anne Stallybrass and Jessica Benton.

[BigBossCat]

Blimey, this brings back memories! My Mum used to love watching this in the 70s! I remember that it used to clash with The Incredible Hulk on ITV, which was my favourite TV programme and it used to give me the right hump! This was in the days before video recorders or Sky+. We even had a black and White TV because my parents couldn't afford the colour TV licence! @karenbenn - I'm English as well, as you can probably tell by my 'proper' spelling of English!

[gyshalom]

i remember the opening to this show when i was a kid!

[mino66]

Aram Khatchaturina's music prevails. It will always be associated with Sea, discovery, Ayvazovsky and more

[camilintgomery]

Great TV show. BBC's quality.

[YagoDiego]

My whole family enjoyed the time watching The Onedin Lines. It was broadcasted in my city (Toluca, Mexico)on Sunday evenings by the regional state channel in the 80's. It won gradually a big audience .because of its good qualities.

[TheHottoddy731]

my old man made us watch this in the 70s xx

[DanielTrollkarl]

This song was also frequently used in Malcolm McDonalds movie "Caligula" =) .. a somewhat shocking movie.

[martibogie]

Just heard Khachaturian - Adagio from Spartacus on radio three..and immediately thought "Onedin Line"..

I was 11 last time I saw this..Lol

[karenbenn]

if you've got a 'mom' who used to watch it as opposed to a Mum or a Mam youre not English, it was on BBC on Sunday evenings

[poolfarm2]

Is'nt this ship docked at Albert docks, Liverpool?

[karenbenn]

was it not Sunday evenings BBC 2

[clazza01]

late afternoon

i remember my mom used to watch it

i hated this show

[12pusu]

The most expected Sunday afternoons moment of my childhood...

[mrpinks]

The ship on these opening credits tragically sank in the tall ships race with very few survivors from a young crew

[mrpinks]

Ahh cap'nain Baines

[Mistersafehouse]

I noticed this isn't the original music - played by the orchestra on the series. If anyone knows where I can get that i'd be grateful. Cheers.

[richgiljan]

thank you, tvtestcard, as I already have commented I love this music.

Are you able to help with downloading the series?? I am so very disappointed the videos were taken off.

[richgiljan]

beautiful music, brings back so many memories. Have recently been watching the series but the videos were suddenly removed - is anyone able to help please???

[tumadoireacht]

i suspect the bbc got miffed

[napsugar49]

Onedin család filmzenéje.....

[dearmalika]

This was a wonderful serie.I love this

music !

[Krystaltipps]

Can't believe my sister sent me this video but didn't comment on it herself!!!!!

Part of our childhood & such a lovely piece of music as well as being a part of 'old TV' history.

Classic!! Thanks tvtestcard for stirring old & good memories of family nights around 'the box'

:o)

[dearmalika]

Que bella musica, me trae muchisimos recuerdos agradables de tiempos muy felices!

[jameszvagyok]

I remember this, although I was ....about... 6 years old. It meant our tuesday evenings...started at 8 p.m. My parents liked it very much, but I though bored sometimes. There were some adventures (e.g. jungle) and the great music, yup.

[pocketcat45]

Gorgeous music underlying a gorgeous scene. Wow. Khachaturian is a genius.

[babyycat]

I just love this music...

[kenworthk108]

loved this as a kid watching the series.

Col

[dianec210654]

Love it!!! Well remember the Onedin Line....I was a bit of a fan back then. An Inspired choice of music for the series.

[RussMoxham]

But for me this whole piece, with the cor anglais or whatever the solo instrument is toward the start, isn't anywhere near as uplifting as the later loud trebly string bit that began the BBC intro version.

[kkjelt]

Jesus, what a crap orchestration! Please listen to the original non-tv version. This is just sleazy. Pathetic!

[artyruthy]

this music sends me...........

[trulynot]

Such a beautiful piece.

[israel858]

love from israel

[apnarafi]

this is also the theme music of a very good film called mayerling staring omar shariff

[tolnai07]

A legszebb zene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gastonka23]

Ha nem is a legszebb filmzene, de mindenképpen szép, bár nem igazán emlékszem már rá:-)nagyon kicsi voltam....

[robotwun]

love this tune, was just a little kid when me mum and dad used to watch this on bbc1 on a sunday night. Like the tune even more after not hearing it for years. It moves me inside ! Amazing !

[12rosebud12]

The MERE idea of using that Adagio from Spartacus theme for the Onedin Line plus giving the audiences a customized, fuller lush Hollywood-like orchestration deserves already an Oscar. The TV orchestration is even better than the original. It was the spineshiverer of our childhoods. Gooooorgeous!!

[jerramy]

Perhaps someone should also give some credos to the composer Khachaturian. He must have known the sea from up close.

[jerramy]

Once again, here are the people behind the camera who have great talent and know exactly what to give the audience to produce the emotions that set the scene for their writer's intent. How many times has great music been introduced to us through the best of British TV?

[V8hel]

Gosh how scary- my parents used to watch this in the UK. I remember the music. Great to hear it again although its made me feel old!

[thunderferretsarego]

wahay....1st to comment on something.... except i havn't made a comment.. oh bugger never say never...oops i've just said it twice.
