AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Pilot for a proposed series about coastwatchers. The series never eventuated – maybe two men watching coasts isn’t inherently dramatic – but the pilot screened as a stand alone film and New Zealander Mirams (who became a major producer of kids’ TV in this country) later reworked the concept as Spyforce(1971–72)' (FilmInk).
