Pretty much every Sealine 285 Ambassador ever sold in the last 30 years was 'the one from the Howards' Way intro'. :)

Well it actually ended up on the Thames and we did sell it a good number of years ago ! Standard V8s in it. A hood number of the 285s were Thames based as Racecourse yacht basin were dealers. Which I’m guessing you know anyhow. !

Actually just been told whilst we had it for sale we did not sell it. Apparently it was sold by another Thames dealer a while after. It was still on the upper teachers about ten years ago.

He had a Sealine dealership! What could be worse?

Chris Coleman who owned Quay Marine at the time was not a million miles off Ken !

There was a recent Twitter appreciation club for the series last time it ran. Ken and his wife Jan ( married in true life!) contributed here and there.

Great they contributed. And that they've been together all this time. Ken got his lady after all. :D :cool:

The barracuda was in Chichester marina last time I went there. Seems to live there probably still there.

I put the first episode last night. Sadly drama is broadcasting it in the wrong aspect ratio which I find too irritating. (It was shot in 4:3 so on a 16:9 telly it should have black lines both sides but they’ve stretched it instead, everything is distorted therefore ). Will try episode 2 on my iPad.

I've been recording the broadcasts from Drama, they are 4:3

FYI, mine has the option to Auto or manually adjust aspect ratio, a dedicated button on the remote, maybe you have one or it is more convoluted through the menu.
Yes that used to be the case on many - mine has no such setting that I can find sadly. I have looked.
