The innocence of childhood !

Reminds my of Captain Pugwash with cartoon characters Master Bates & Seaman Staines
I believe the writers were 'batting for the other side', and the BBC didn't cotton on for years.......

Although hilariously funny I'm pretty sure it's not real as the voices don't tie up with the lip movements at all. Heh I almost choked on my lunch though fave word... "twanger"

sadly urban myths, there never was a Master Bates or Seaman Stains and Roger the Cabin boy was in fact called Tom

the "cast"

Captain Pugwash
Pirate Barnabus
Master Mate
Pirate Willy
Tom the Cabin Boy

His sworn enemy was Cut-throat Jake,
pirate captain of the Flying Dustman

Now there's some useless information for a Friday evening :bannana:

have you checked out the 'Zippy' link at the end of the transcript ? i had to sit down before going out last night and compose myself after watching zippy with jim davidson.

even more useless info - the Rainbow video clip was genuine and written by Roy Skelton (the voice of Zippy and George.

the story goes something like this

According to Geoffrey Hayes, the episode was actually specially made by the rainbow production team at Thames Television - Every Christmas The VT department of each ITV company had a competition to enter all the outtakes from their particular companies programmes to see which ones were the funniest. Rather than enter an outtake they recorded this special edition which ended up winning the competition
