You would never think that this series is nearly 40 years old!! Staring James Bolam at his most handsome (!) it is a great story, which I'm finding totally additive. All filmed in the north-east with local people as the main cast, it was very different for the BBC at the time. The characters are all so plausible and it's brilliantly acted with a number of people who've had illustrios careers since. I cannot remember seeing all the series when they were originally on tv so it is great to catch up on the complete box set. Certainly worth buying (was proving to difficult to watch slowly on LoveFilm!) Heartedly recommended for all James Bolam fans in particular!
I loved watching this series with my dad as a teenager. The story and characters are wonderful. I have never seen it repeated on TV so bought it to watch during lockdown and it is perfect. Just remember that it was made in the 1970s and the sets and film quality are of that time, but it doesn't affect the skills of the actors or the story they tell.

Have really enjoyed the series. Very good value for money, considering the number of hours the storyline lasts. Good to go back to when little else worth watching on tv. Very happy to have bought this disc set.

I ordered the dvd of WHEN THE BOAt COMES IN on the advice of family and friends who loved it. 1 have bought this dvd especially to enjoy in the winter months so i have given it the max stars as James Bolan can do no wrong.

This superb drama, together with all the characters, bring back very happy memories for me, and even the catchy signature tune is impossible to stop humming to one's self.
