James Onedin (Peter Gilmore) is a determined young skipper from Liverpool who's got his sights set on more than the rough seas ahead. In a bid to complete with his former shipping magnate boss, he buys the Charlotte Rose, marries the ship's owner and sets sail on more profitable routes. With the competition not far behind, it's not always plain sailing.

This is the classic BBC drama series charting the fortunes of a shipping family in late 19th Century Liverpool. The saga ran on the BBC from 1971 to 1980, gaining huge audiences and becoming one of the favourite shows of the decade.
