The first episode of the BBC's soap opera "Traingle", filmed on board a North Sea ferry and starring Kate O'Mara. Somebody, somewhere, actually thought this was a winner.
"keep your knickers on till i get to your cabin" LOL i remember people complaining about that line at the time because it was broadcast before the 9pm watershed and children were watching.
"Kate, we'll have you sunbathing topless on a cold, dreary day on the North Sea ferry." With bad ideas like this, no wonder Kate O'Mara left the show after the first season; at least she did better on Dynasty...
@StewieGriffin2009 This screening was from the 1992 BBC2 theme night entitled "TV Hell" which showed what they concidered to be the worst of TV. To fit the theme night it was shown in sections rather than all in one go.
Kate O'Mara's acting masterclass,pretending to sunbathe during a force 9 gale,you can see that she is freezing her knockers off!!!For gods sake someone give her a coat or something.
Michael Craig also played a death camp commander in TURKEY SHOOT(aka ESCAPE 2000) about the same time he made this . . . must have been desperate for work!
Should of called it "On the Ferries". I forgot how bad this was, how this popped up in recommendations I will never know, but fun to look back at this dross! It's like really bad porn without the porn!
The "half naked lady who will be anorexic" is actress Kate O'Mara. She and that leering mate Charles (Paul Jerricho) would later go on to star in Doctor Who as the Rani and the Castellan. Fortunately this turkey of a soap opera didn't completely ruin their careers!

I love Kate. She must have ABSOLUTELY FROZEN HER NIPPLES OFF during that episode !! I SO wish that I could have been there, to help warm them up... x
I have not seen this series for over 30 years and it was never repeated that I know of

Its FAB. I used to Love this show. Thanks for the upload, its made my day : )
Weird opening titles. She'll catch her death on that North Sea ferry. Gothenberg! Felixstowe! Amsterdam! On the glamour!

I wouldn't mind seeing Kate Omara"s triangle..
Point 1, you sicken me, Point 2, I didn't laugh, and anyone who says I did will hear from my solicitor
Because when I think luxury cruise, the first thing that springs to mind is Felixstowe-Gothenburg-Amsterdam, on the grim North Sea, on a dreary liner.
RIP K O'M
You can tell the deck in the opening scene is clearly freezing. Poor Kate O'Mara was lying there for a really long time!
This is AMAZING.
Hard to fathom out why this never took off.
-When does Richard Harris turn up to the defuse the bombs?
-That was Juggernaut.
-In that case I hope he doesn't turn up then!
This is like a low budget Love Boat.
+Salmagundiii The wank boat.
R.i.p. Kate o'mara
@baseballfan99
Notice the crowded deck as the other passengers flock out to enjoy the weather
Larry Lamb has got his own show on LBC 97.3 on Sunday mornings and he's taken to hosting a radio show very well.
Michael Craig also played a death camp commander in TURKEY SHOOT(aka ESCAPE 2000) about the same time he made this . . . must have been desperate for work!
This series is finally available on DVD with all three series of 56 episodes on the link below

Have they sold any copies?
A joke of the time was "Did you see Kate O'Mara's triangle"?
Hey,look! It's nasty "Mr Hicks" from Grange hill!!
R.I.P KATE OMARA
I used to like Triangle
instead of gawping, shouldnt they be steering the boat or navigating?
First things first.
Too busy Wan*ing !
Question - how do you make a series about a North sea ferry interesting?
This is the series that dares to ask that question.
And, as you might expect, fails to come up with the answer.
Pear Tree Productions narrowly missed out on the contract for this. A-ha…….!
Is Triangle on D.V.D?
I've uploaded another edition of this from 1981.
I've had a look on your page or your videos are and can't find the other edition you've uploaded from 1981 why is that please
You're too late unfortunately. I deleted about 95% of my videos a few weeks ago because I was fed up with copyright warnings.
Should of called it "On the Ferries". I forgot how bad this was, how this popped up in recommendations I will never know, but fun to look back at this dross! It's like really bad porn without the porn!
Larry lamb was red hot
This was no way about the Navy Royal or Merchant
Fuking hell she must have been in agony 'bathing' there :O
