 Action
adventure series. The exploits of a science team on a boat called New
Endeavor monitoring the sea bed and getting involved in adventures
along the way. The ship was kitted out with all manner of scientific
gizmo's and was like a laboratory at sea, the ship contained computers,
underwater radio equipment, a jet boat and a two man submarine. The crew were
financed by a giant industrial and pastoral group to locate sunken wreck which
might just contain "extremely valuable cargo". Fauna who made the show
for 10 had only recently finished filming Skippy. Critics were not overly kind
to the series however branding the show "kidult", an article in the TV
Week of 6 February 1971 said "the money should have been spent on a good
rewrite coach" the writer of the piece Herb Martin feeling the scripts were
not up to par.
