The entire series, the originals as well as the 2006 series, was available on I-Player at the Radio 2 Radio Ballads website. There's still a lot of information about them there, but the actual programmes appear to have been taken down. |

Contemporary footage of the fishermen at work is intercut with interviews and archive photos, clips from John Greirson's DRIFTERS, Harry Watts' NORTH SEA, and Campbell Harper's CALLING HERRING. Traditional folk songs are used throughout. |
