Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

pauluscuteboy35 I never really bothered with Howards Way on its original run i thought it was a lame,cheaply produced British rip off of Dallas,Dynasty,Falcon Crest and the like which i loved watching back in the eighties. But since the re-runs on UKGold i've become hooked, okay its still got the wooden acting,the slightly scary eighties fashions and hair don't's but all this adds to the charm which partly comes from the nostalgia buzz of times past. But in a decade when all we are subjected to in the way of televised entertainment is reality dross and x-list celebrity talent(less)shows or soaps that make the performances in Howards Way look like Oscar contenders then i'll take the nostalgic look back to times when entertainment was exactly that and not the twisted view of what producers consider reality to look like on todays airwaves.

vchablani Sunday evenings in England, circa 1985-89 - my daughter doing her flute practice, me sharing a glass of wine with handsome Charles Frere. I was so thrilled to discover this series is finally being released on DVD, but DEVASTATED to learn it is only formatted for Region 2, as I now live in U.S. Region 1. Please, please, please.......we want it too! If they can trot out dopey, tired old Britcoms like Are you Being Served and Keeping up Appearances, SURELY we can have this gorgeous, lush drama on this side of the pond to combat the reality TV flotsam we are bombarded with? Howard's Way is a classic, it deserves a space on my shelf along with Masterpiece Theatre dramas, and better Britcoms.

septimius-severus-1 The reason why there were 'only' six series of 'Howard's Way' was that following the filming of Series 5, prior to it being shown on BBC, Maurice Colbourne died whilst on holiday, so the producers and writers had to decide what to do. It was decided that instead of leaving everything up in the air, it was best to film one final series with the aim of tidying up hanging story lines.One of the central sets used is the pub. This is 'The Jolly Sailor' at Bursledon on the Hamble River between Farham and Southampton. The outside has not changed much including views of Jack Rolfe's boatyard in real life the Elephant Yard. Inside the pub there is a small memorial to the series in the form of a framed photo of the cast.The pub was closed to the public during the summer whilst filming went on.

soap_expert I totally disagree what this person has written as I think Howard's Way was brilliant! It had great acting, great storylines and a brilliant theme tune. It should have ran much longer in my opinion. It was the BBC's version of "Dallas" and "Dynasty" and I think they did a great job!
