Talk:Patrol Boat (TV series)

Current Status
A response from the ABC to an enquiry about this show being rebroadcast or being made available for purchase. "Thank you for your further enquiry regarding Patrol Boat.

The ABC did part-produce the series and previously held the broadcast rights to air Patrol Boat three times, as stipulated in the contracts with the writers and actors involved. The program has aired on the ABC three times since 1979, meaning that for the ABC to re-air the program it would have to renegotiate these contracts with the writers and actors who appeared in the series. Due to limited resources the ABC generally uses funding to create new programs rather than spending it on rights to older programs. Unfortunately, at present there are no plans for a commercial release of Patrol Boat.

Nevertheless, I have advised the Television Programming Department of your interest in seeing this series again. Thank you for taking the time to write."
