S0E1 - The Cult of... Howard's Way
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.
