I served in the RAN from 1979 - 1986 and my shipmates loved it. We always used to say police had cop shows, doctors have doctor shows and now sailors have sailor shows. Good memories.
SEA patrol was a joke, the way the crew talked to the officers or were allowed to talk non stop while working.. how many women can the Navy have on a ship before It becomes completely useless? :)
Thanks for posting. I used to watch this show on the ABC in the late 70s-80s and therefore was watching the modern version -Seapatrol quite closely. Unfortunately Seapatrol doesn't match up in the first series. Here's hoping it will get better on the new Armidale-class boats that will be used
I think Patrol Boat was excellent for its time and Sea Patrol is also good for its time. Patrol Boat was more relaxed and real life, where as Sea Patrol is more of an ad campaign for potential sailors. I wish they would re-run Patrol Boat or release it on DVD
The episode at 2.40 is typical of what made this show a lot better than Sea Patrol; it involved several other units of the RAN (namely the carrier HMAS Melbourne) and was funny in parts as the crew had to disguise the ship as a pleasure boat .
Thanks for your information! I still don't give up hope that this show will be released on DVD sometimes! ... Maybe after over one year later you could send another letter to James Davern???
Have they released this series in the meantime? I'd buy it instantly if they did so... Served myself with the RN, but loads of it look genuine here... at least to me
Hello sorry my english. I am looking for the épisode 4 of the season 1 of this série Patrol boat. Do you know how I could find it please? My mother played in that episode. Thanks for your answer
As far as I know it hasn't. But if anyone knows about it, please let me know! I really would love to watch more of it, especially of series two (1983) as I haven't seen any of those episodes :-(
@chewie211171 I just watched a few episodes of season 2 and one epi was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing! Too bad the show is not out on DVD. I am still missing a couple of eps.
Srry, aber ich schreibe liebr auf deutsch. Diese TV Serie ist wohl die beste Wiedergabe des Bordlebens nach den Hornblower Filmen. Vieles, was hier als Screenplay dargestellt wired, habe ich in ähnlicher Form im echten Leben während meiner Borddienstzeit genauso erlebt. Wenn gleich auh unter deutscher und nicht australischer, Flagge. Hier entspricht vieles dem wirklichen Leben einer Bordgemeinschaft. Die alltäglichen Probleme die sich beim Leben auf engstem Raum ergeben.
You are correct. Not.A.Chance. Same with The Late Show from 1992/1993, also an ABC product. They say they can't release full episodes due to all the copyrights required, but I have all of these and if they took out all the "politically incorrect" bits they'd literally gut the show. A different (much better) time from another universe.

I loved this show as a kid, would love to see re-runs. I agree with chewie211171, Seapatrol doesn't even come close....
SEA patrol was a joke, the way the crew talked to the officers or were allowed to talk non stop while working.. how many women can the Navy have on a ship before It becomes completely useless? :)
I always thought that Patrol Boat was much the better program even now. And the music was much better.

I am related to the "Buffer" I think he is a great actor. (Danny Adcock) :)

this is far the best patrol boat
I remember this as a kid, way better than Sea Patrol
I think sea patrol is a whole new ball game when compared to this relic
The vessel is an "Attack" class Patrol Boat.
I think I just saw "Johnny the Boy" from "Mad Max"
ah those old films, sooooooo good :)

Never seen the show patrol boat, only Sea Patrol
@thunzie I have no idea since I never watched Mad Max and I couldn't find any info on the imdb.
YES! I absolutely agree with you!!!!
Hopefully our wish will be heard by the people who can do something about it!

What was the piss taking skit of this called again?
Man Boat, from When TV Was Awesome
Patrol Boat is not politically correct and with the current environment of sour politics, this show will never be run on TV again.
