Holiday Island (Channel 10 1981-1982, Nick Tate, Patricia Kennedy)

Holiday Island was a generally derided drama/soap series about the lives of the staff of a supposedly tropical holiday island resort where each week (think a low budget cross between Fantasy Island and The Love Boat) different holiday makers arrive with various problems.

Filmed in the grounds of Channel Ten the set later became part of the Neighbours Lassiters complex.
