I totally agree with you, it's awful isn't it. If there wasn't a Britannia as star of the show I don't think that the majority of us would have even watched it.
Many of us have fond memories of classic television from that era but watching them now often makes you cringe. Even with real time footage rather than a film studio most of what we remember doesn't quite feel the same after watching it forty years later. Most of the acting along with the scripts are excruciating to watch. (Dad's Army exempt)
Another example is "Triangle". Not aviation related but it was definitely a favourite of mine around the same time. I tried to watch it again a couple of years but I didn't even finish watching the second episode 🙃
