My pleasure to contribute to Foogou’s wonderful channel. I have watched this series over 20 times. Roger’s writing, the actors and the locations appealed so much to me, when I was younger. When I retire, I am going to visit all the locations used. RIP Roger and the wonderful Philip Sayer who brought Ramsey to life. David
I've watched Kubrick's "2001" about as many times as you've watched this. Clearly connects with you. With Floodtide, you could probably ace the specialist knowledge round on Mastermind! Btw, Rodney Marshall replied to the "Moving On" episode of Travelling Man with the following: "Lovely to see my dad's 80s series made available." [...] "There is a chapter on both series [TM and Floodtide] in our forthcoming 80s TV book. My father's happiest years, creating these two shows." He mentioned a January 2024 publication. I'll contact him before the end of the month to ask for details so I can inform Roger Marshall subscibers on this channel who might be interested to buy the book.
Glad you've uploaded this, courtesy of dsummers1966. I remember seeing this episode, but can't recall seeing the whole series - maybe the commitment of 13 episodes was too great at the time or the younger me wasn't captivated enough? Good to get a second chance, anyway.
I thought I recognized that theme tune somewhere!!! So, it was Floodtide, okay! This show came out right before I moved overseas, and I was trying to place the name of the show and the lead actor's name and the production company (I thought it was LWT at first). Only thing I remembered was that theme tune. I will definitely watch this again after all these decades. Thank you!
This is a very interesting series that uses ideas that creator Roger Marshall had intended for the abortive third series of Travelling Man. Floodtide starts rather slowly, but builds a builds across the 13 episodes.
@FoogouFilms Lol. They used to air it Sunday nights, did promos for it and everything. That's how I got thrown off as to whether LWT produced it, but see here that it was done by Granada.
Yes, I think I knew that and I thought Floodtide was going to feature Lomax (Leigh Lawson) but I’ve subsequently read some of the issues around making the third series and why it didn’t happen. I always preferred this series. David

Hope you get inspired enough to become hooked. Apparently it's a grower over the two series. I'm new to it myself.
Ooooo, this looks promising...... Thanks very much, Mr FF.

Pleased to reunite you and the programme.
The doc himself died a year later, at 42, from lung cancer. R.I.P..
Thank you for uploading. Looking forward to watching the full series. ATB Steve
This is completely new to me but I just know that I will like it...and with only four more Hadders in store.. Im ready to commit elsewhere as well.❤
1:55. Somebody else has to use that money. Ughh!
Brian May wrote a song about Philip after he died even tho he had never met him.
Great series

Scenes too dark as if all set at night.
