Howards' Way

The BBC's answer to Dynasty, Howards' Way was launched in 1985 with an enormous 1 million pound budget. The main characters in the show were 'best boat designer in the world' Tom Howard, his boutique running wife Jan Howard, 'I'll have a drink' Jack Rolfe and a nasty man called Ken Masters. It starred Maurice Colbourne.

    If any drama serial embodied the ethos of the 80s, it was Howards' Way. Watched by 14 million viewers, it ran for six years. In this nostalgia-fest, stars Jan Harvey and Stephen Yardley discuss its success - and why, sensibly, it was decided not to call it The Boat Builders.
