Pridesale 12th Jul 2017		Master Mate, a strange term that I dont know of order of the Merchant Marine. Most pirates were Welsh apparently.



albert 19th Aug 2016		It may not have been in the script but I think there is a slip of the tongue at 1.43 on the clip for the first episode.



jordansongs 7th Jun 2015		According to wikipedia, the colour series (30 episodes) was first broadcast between 16 September 1974 and 11 July 1975. The original black and white episodes (87 in total) were broadcast by the BBC between 1957 and 1966. I remember as a young boy in the 70s, Cut-Throat Jake used to scare the bejesus out of me. :D



Pridesale 7th Jun 2015		Shaky animation of John Ryan's pictures and stories. Tom the cabin boy always seems to save the day from Pugwash and crew 's awry adventures. A style of depiction that reminds me of Japanese cut-out shadow puppet type ones that used to get broadcast around Sunday Tea Time on BBC1. Peter Hawking gets the voices just right, and the music from Johnny Pearson. Bura and Hardwick also responsible for the camerawork on the likes of Camberwick Green. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Pugwash reminds me that the Strip cartoon could be found in The Eagle and sometimes in The Radio Times and an earlier , live action animation in Black and White was broadcast in 1957 on BBC. Given that most of my viewing was in the 1970s I was surprised to see the Colour Broadcasts were from as early as 1966. I think in the 70s this generally filled in the 'Magic Roundabout'. 'Roohbarb and Custard' and 'Hector's House' 5.40pm slot on the telly. Nowadays a time slot covered by quiz shows,that often ask questions on animated characters and the series they came from.



Monolith 7th Jun 2015		On 13 September 1991 national British newspaper 'The Guardian' claimed that certain characters names could be viewed in a vulgar context (e.g. Master Bates and Seaman Staines). Such character names did not form any part of the series and creator John Ryan successfully won retractions and settlements from both 'The Guardian' and another British newspaper, 'The Sunday Correspondent', which also printed a similar story.
