The Cult of...: Sunday Night: The Onedin Line

The Cult of... - Sunday Night - 5. The Onedin Line

The series which unearths the history and anecdotes behind cult British Sunday night dramas looks at the 1970s seafaring saga The Onedin Line, which followed the fortunes of James Onedin and his flagship, the Charlotte Rhodes. The programme reveals how the sale of the over-budget production to German television kept it afloat for more than a single series; explains the reasons behind Philip Bond's premature departure; and tells exactly how the storm-at-sea sequences were filmed.
