I remember watching Howard's Way back in the 80's .I think it shows just how TV has changed from those days of pure class, excellent script writers, good strong story line and of course top class actors.
I have no comment to make about TV entertainment today!!

I've just come to the end of my Howardfest, just brilliant. Just so sad that so many of the cast are no longer with us, in particular the wonderful Tony Anholt who was just superb as Charles Frere. Thank you so much for these postings, I have enjoyed them immensely.

So sad that the very talented and handsome Tony Anholt died so young. What an amazing actor he was, Bond material for sure.

Got totally immersed for the third time. Loved it in the eighties and it has stood the test of time surprisingly well. I couldn't keep up with all the business plotting and shareholder shenanigans as it did get ridiculously convoluted at times, but it's a brilliantly entertaining series and thank you Leisurecruise for uploading. Truly outstanding acting throughout from the wonderful Gerald (Ivor Danvers) who brought such warmth and humanity to his role. I also enjoyed his scenes with Polly. I missed her in the last series and hoped for a final showdown (or reconciliation?) between her and Jan, but it wasn't to be.

Dear LC We have enjoyed watching these over the past few months. So glad Ken got Leisure Cruise back and Charles is going to find happiness at last. Poor Leo though.
Thank you to LC for uploading these. We loved the comments too. Really sad these are over.

Words fail me..! What a beautiful end to the season. I watched a brief part of season 1 in the country where I grew up and was sold. I just searched and found the 6 seasons on the internet and have watched it over the last few months. Sad to lose Maurice C (Tom Howard) in season 5.
It’s a massive shift though from season 1 where Avril Rolf and Abi looked very subdued and insecure to the final seasons when they became total divas.
Also the narrative shifted from a general family adapting to changes of life to boardroom and shares and takeovers etc. It was hard to keep up with who was buying what. But overall a lovely series and could not have had a better ending. Thanks for posting.

Only just found these on the tube. A wonderful trip down memory lane for me. I was the designer on the show, you will see my name on the end credits. Great memories, on that last day of shooting I met the lady who was to become my wife. Met her there in that marque in the boat yard. Thanks for keeping the memories alive!

Brilliant watching. Missed out on a lot of the episodes when it first came out. So glad to watch all the series. The clothes and design were beautiful. Also interesting to see shots on Malta in some episodes. I thought Howard's Way was left unfinished. Poor Leo for being a true gentleman and trusting Abbey with his son. She was quite an difficult character who couldn't make up her mind and in the end inheriting all that money went to her head. Would love BBC to continue where this series left off....

Just what a superb show so badly missed by all us fans.Ken Masters a legend and an inspiration to all us cockney wideboys!

The quality of this continuing show over the time period it was on was phenomenal, it literally summed up how the BBC during that decade at least then was still a measure of spending money but spending it wisely and putting heart and soul into something which turned out to be Howards Way. Just superb cast, acting and gave everyone a dose of the 80's American style dramas but in a very British setting that everything combined made this so special back then and even though was made all those decades back, is easy to watch again now and it still holds up. Cause as said everyone cast and many other unseen faces involved put everything into it and why will always be much cherished. The ones who are no longer with us, we will forever remember them and thankful for their supreme contribution over those years it was on our screens!!
