 The
mid 1970's was without question
a golden age for UKTV with some
of the most highly regarded
shows originating from this
period, this new release from
Acorn media is no exception.
When The Boat Comes In Series
One part one is a fantastic two
disc set containing the first
five episodes from the BBC
series (the show was first
broadcast in 1976).
Fresh from his success in
Whatever Happened to the Likely
Lads James Bolam stars as Sgt
Jack Ford who, following the end
of World War One, returns to his
native Gallashields on Tyneside
embittered and determined to
improve his lot in life. Created
by James Mitchell, this release
has class written all over it
with these five episodes setting
the scene nicely for the rest of
the series (there were four
series in total). A great
release.

production notes, a picture
gallery, filmographies and scene
indexing.
