When The Boat Comes In.
I've just finished watching this superb drama, repeated on Yesterday recently.
As entertainment and education, it is on a par with Upstairs Downstairs and The Forsyte Saga.
When I was young, ignorant and dismissive about the recollections of my parents on their childhood experiences in the 1920s, I would often liken them to the Four Yorkshiremen sketch in which each tries to outdo the other in their definition of being poor and hard done to, fool that I was.
Ironic indeed that it takes a fictionalised drama to teach what I should have known.
Mea Maxima Culpa.

Re: When The Boat Comes In.
James Bolam is still going strong in the new Cbeebies series "Grandpa in my pocket". Youngest was well impressed that I know the name of the actor playing Grandpa.

Re: When The Boat Comes In.
I loved that series, but showing my age 
Catchy tune, still occasionally burst out with "When the boat comes in"...younger colleagues think I'm nuts, older ones smile
Maybe I am nuts

Re: When The Boat Comes In.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man
When thou art a man and come to take a wife
Thou should wed a lass and love her all your life
She should be your lass and thou should be her man
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man
Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
