I'm afraid Seaman Staines and Master Bates are urban legends - thee was a "Willy" but that's about it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Pugwash In fact, a newspaper was sued for suggesting the names above were real in the programme.

Urban myth, I'm afraid. None of those character names appeared - neither did "Roger the cabin boy" (it was "Tom"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain...uble_entendresQuote:

Some very happy childhood memories flooding back................if only life was still so simple and half as much fun :eyebrows:
I get back to you latter on that I am sure when looking for this I heard one of these names being called on a youtube clip I try and find it but of course I could be imagining itQuote:

Sorry to burst that bubble John, I thought it was for years too! The wonders of Wikipedia!
Hmmm, i think i know a good 90%+ of what has been mentioned & in full agreement :)
No-one has mentioned "Aeronauts" though :scratch: It was a French program/series about fighter pilots (if i remember correctly) which was English dubbed... Very good to, talking in the 70s
Do or die Aeronauts fly! :eyebrows:
Mary Mungo & Midge only 13 episodes but great stuff
Joe 90..
I have all 13 on DVD, indeed great stuff ;)Quote:
