- TriviaThe series was recorded and edited almost entirely on location on board the ferries, using light-weight hand-held video cameras and recorders which were new technology at the time. However various technical problems were experienced: the rolling of the ship affected the head-speed/tracking servos of the video recorders, causing loss of picture synchronisation at times, and the cameras did not cope well with the high contrast between cabin interiors and the view out of the windows.

Featured review
Re John Fernadez' comments on the technical limitations of the time, I worked on Triangle as a young sound assistant, and I believe the control track problems were mostly caused by the motion of the ship in rough seas and the effect this had on the motors in the VPR20 video recorders. We had 3 of these on board at any one time - the 2 not in use were usually broken down and were repaired by a vision engineer called Dave Hume who sat in a tiny cabin all day surrounded by polystyrene cups (blutacked to the nearest flat surface!) full of small screws and widgets removed from the sick machines. I guess we were really lucky that Dave didn't suffer from seasickness! An unsung hero,I feel.
