tugs quarantine

It has been one of the hottest weeks of the summer. In such hot wearther, there was a greater danger that ships might be carrying diseases. If this was the case, the ships would have to go into quarantine for several days and wait out in the estuary, away from the harbour. Under no circumstances should any of the tugs go near the ships in quarantine.
Ships in quarantine fly the yellow flag, When the old tramper, Nantucket, lowers its flag, a great deal of confusion is caused and only wise old O.J. understands why.

[@dave41184]

Zorran - 'You're a real villain Dirt Bucket, know that?' . My favourite line from the episode :D

[@PeaceyPraps]

XD I can't get enough of that line

[@MrBrendanRoy]

dave41184 "I wanted to get into port"

[@joshualoynes7408]

MrBrendanRoy “didn’t I?!”

[@200Mikey]

Sunshine did the right thing.

[@radicalgoodspeed16]

[@jackdove4136]

Heatwave of 1920-21.

[@verkaforever]

STOP TEN CENTS STOP!!!! That part always made me laugh as a kid- still does in fact.

[@cannibalfan333]

I love Captain Star's blunt "what"

[@verkaforever]

Yeah- me too. You know then he's not gonna sell O.J.

[@Mousetrap1740]

...It took me months to find the name of this show. THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD

[@eisemanrenyardjake]

Exceeding the speed-limit; that was ferry careless of the motorboat!

[@Boskov01]

They did set fire to parts of the set for the episode: Munitions but for the most part, the set was still in tact. The show only ended because the company that funded the show went bankrupt.

[@davidholms8934]

I agree koolkill i loved it aswell

[@Lautaro2001]

Good thing they didn't put them in the Eighties

[@beetmasters]

I had this on VHS

[@danielwilliamson6180]

2:15 The Captain's voice sounds like Sean Connery.

[@eisemanrenyardjake]

Daniel Williamson I think Patrick Allen was the voice of Captain Starr

[@danielwilliamson6180]

What I meant was Patrick Allen sounded like Sean Connery as The Captain. Maybe he modelled The Captain's voice after Sean Connery.

quarantie for covid 19

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Captain Star ruined the episode for me. He threatened to send Ten Cents and Sunshine for scrap simply because they were late for the briefing, and he also considers scrapping O.J.! But... in my headcanon, this does lead to being his 'biggest regret of his life' and the Star TUGS loose trust in him over the incident. Could lead to an interesting story where he has to work to get respect back...

[@Woodenrailwayoliver20]

Don’t get me wrong I think Quarantine is a good episode, but I think it’s the weakest episode of the show with Warrior being a close second.

[@rootbeerson2011]

me too

[@jonnysiddle4064]

Why does Ten Cents say 'Capan' in this episode and none of the others?

[@musicstarvideos1063]

can anyone tell me some of the names

[@joshualoynes7408]

Musicstarvideos the names of what? The tugs?
