The Onedin Line: Winner Take All (BBC-1 28 Jan 1972)

Published

on


In Winner Take All, the final episode of the first season, Albert Frazer finally persuades James of the benefits of steam but to build the two new ships they want and raise the £100,000 they need they will have to go public. Naturally enough the wily Callon spots an opportunity to get himself a controlling interest in the steamship enterprise. Not only that but thanks to his canny playing ends up chairman of the company.

Meanwhile Baines has passed his Master’s examination and has been given command of the Pampero. His first voyage in command sees the ship in serious trouble though when it runs into a bad storm. Disastrously Baines has to give the order to abandon ship as the Pampero goes down.

James Garbutt makes an appearance here as Mr Tapscott who is organising the floatation, he would go on to take the role of Robert Onedin in the third series.

A strong end to what has been a fabulous opening season. By the end of the episode James and Anne are pretty much back where they started. He has lost control of the steam ship project and the Pampero has gone – but at least he still has the Charlotte Rhodes and Anne.
