I have just started watching The Onedin Line again on Youtube….one down…90 to go.
Now that is some 80s fashion. Interesting to see modern movies set in the 70s or 80s don’t actually get it accurate but a modern interpretation of it.
Funny cos most is true. On set many extras discuss past experiences…. as it’s a common thread. Though in my experience the food is much better than depicted!!!
