'Ship girls' are the subject of this episode of the NZBC’s Probation Service drama. Hapless Janice (Freda Costley), a 19-year-old with a father who moved to Whakatane and a mother she doesn’t see if she can help it, is looking for love in the wrong places: sneaking onto the wharves to party with sailors in the hope she’ll find a boyfriend. Now the police have arrested her and, if she’s not careful, she’ll end up in borstal. Will the Probation Officers (Ewen Solon and Glynis McNicholl) be able to "stop her gangway habit becoming an addiction"?

"Can i have a smoke?" wow! smoking indoors, and it being offered to a minor. How things have changed.

Hi Steve - we won't be able to get any more episodes of the series for the site at this stage, because of our rights situation with TVNZ. But you could contact the TVNZ Archive directly and see if they could help you...
