All At Sea (Channel 10 1977, Abigail, Stuart Wagstaff)

Comedy All At Sea details the misadventures of a mismatched group holidaying together.

Filmed in just 12 days and mostly in Sydney. Many of the cast had been appearing in The Celebrity Game. It’s pretty much an Australian Carry On movie, Abigail gets her kit off, Ugly Dave Gray smokes a cigar and there are double and single entendres aplenty.
