Captain
Pugwash was a BBC TV children's series first broadcast in a series of
fifty-eight black & white episodes from 1957 to 1966, then as a
colour series of thirty episodes from 1974 to 1975. A third (animated)
series of twenty-six episodes was broadcast from 1997 to 1998. The original
series was created by author John Ryan who wrote all the books (full
list of titles at end of gallery), some as comic
strip/cartoon books and some as novels. Later novelisations of the animated
series were adapted by a number of authors.
The series gained cult status based on rumours about the character names featured in the series (risqué maritime names such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy). In fact, the crew of the famous Black Pig ship were Master Mate, Tom the Cabin Boy, and Pirates Barnabas and Willy (there were no characters with the designation of 'Seaman' in the show.) Series creator John Ryan successfully won retractions and settlements from the Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian after both newspapers claimed that the show's characters did indeed have smutty names, and that the BBC had taken it off the air as a result.  =
