CAPTAIN PUGWASH AND THE ISLAND OF THE DODOS

[iamXSTEALTHZX]

when i watched it it seemed much more hi tech :D

[Treblaine]

"we'll have it there under that tree"

*Snicker*

[vkman34]

Captain Pugwash voice provided by Patrick Moore! Not really, but it sounds pretty close.

[bklue2010]

good

[hugothebear]

The double entendre names myth is from a Comic who did a send up of the cartoon... look on Internet and you will see that the man who devised Captain Pugwash actually won a law suit against 2 Newspapers who tried to perpetuate the rude character names... Master Mates name might be easy to mis-hear I am sure was created in all innocence, and the cabin boy was always called Tom. The first episodes were actually broadcast live using cardboard cut outs, brilliant, pioneering and charming.

[dannymcmince]

I know someone who looks like Pugwash

[aleathia83]

lmao!!!!! EPIC!!!!

[helltopay1]

...and his german foe Captain Kuntz

[helltopay1]

Yep and his german for Captain Kuntz

[pauluws1]

I won't. But the Cabin Boy was named Tom and there was no Seaman Staines, just a Master Mates, Cut Throat Jake, Barnabas and a Willy (from Wigan).

[Maxshard]

@pauluws1 Don't forget Seaman Staines and Roger the cabin boy.

[munch2006uk]

can ne one rember a program with a load of dodos and a snake ?

[firestar8891]

When was this made??It's really good!!!

[rangersgt]

@firestar8891  early 1970's

[fendermac]

@firestar8891 ...I remember Pugwash in black and white so I place it in the '60s. If anything the earlier stuff was of better quality - certainly more characterful

[fendermac]

@firestar8891 ....It seems it started in 1957 and as I was 4 that year that fits the bill 

[Stingrayproductions2]

''We'll have it there under that tree.'' classic. Old version rocks

[maz1463]

master bate! classic.

[BackInTheEUSSR]

Rum Sodomy & the Lash

[thfc5afc1]

[fireblade95]

its true, it is all just urban legend, which is a pity as thats all this has really got going for it!

[mave1985]

can the next person who wants to have a go at me for talking sense please step up to the plate.

[mave1985]

why are you people to so thick? do u want to hear these names or summin. ive sed it before. give me a link to prove im wrong n ill change my opinions. but since the fact that the MYTH has been dispelled and that its common knowledge that its bullshit and also that john ryan sued the guardian about these claims and won, that people would cut the crap and grow up and realise that they are convincing themselves of something that was never there in the first place.

[mave1985]

funny enough brain999 i didnt catch that episode but i guess that must have been the episode when the writers were high on LSD and decided to fuck around with the names i bet. i bet that was when they decided to change the names of master mate to master bate and change the name tom to roger. was it? funny that aint it? that the writers chose suspect names for the characters but only did it one episode. yet every fucker on here is conviced that the whole series consisted of those names.

[mave1985]

then you must have been watching summin else! what is wrong with you people? ive sed this b4 do ur research and you will find out this bollocks of seamen staines and such was a MYTH! an URBAN LEGEND! it was MADE UP! i'll tell u wot hotrocksboi show me a link with sum proof of this becasue i can send u links that prove its bollocks.

[brian9999]

@mave1985

Did you catch the episode with the two scottish characters. Bin Doon & Phil McKaverty?

[thfc5afc1]

@brian9999 haha phil mckaverty .never heard it but i likes it

[mave1985]

lol thats funny! offensive language? get a fucking life.

[skyisneverenough]

I think, mave1985, that your opinion could be likeably agreed to - were your offensive language and rudeness not so clearly out of order.

[mave1985]

actually ur talking bollocks vikkipollard that was never true. dont believe me? do ur fucking research! go on snopes or summin and look it up. there was NEVER any characters called those names. dont argue with me when u clearly have no idea wot ur talking about.

[vikkipollard5]

Actually, Master Bates, and Seaman Stains were indeed characters well known on the show from the original series.

[mave1985]

you people are a bunch of fucking idiots if you believe the double entendres bullshit. the only name that sounds remotely suspect is master mate. but it was master mate not master bate. there was no fucking character called roger the cabin boy. it was TOM the cabin boy. and as for seaman staines! once again there was NO fucking character called that.

[wheltonpat]

@hotrocksboi In 1991 Ryan successfully sued The Guardian and the Sunday Correspondent over allegations that Captain Pugwash had featured characters whose names had sexual innuendos, such as Master Bates and Seaman Staines. He gave the proceeds to a lifeboat charity. John Ryan died in Rye, Sussex on 22 July 2009.

[Kyruis]

@wheltonpat

Because the urban myth is so widespread you can get Seaman Staines T-shirts and such though :)

[y0user74]

Dildos and masturbate. :D

[sootycakes]

shiver me timbers

[bluemukaki]

How do you listen to this and not hear Master Mate...people just want it to be Master Bate so bad that they imagine things...

[Rakkzz]

John Ryan, its creator, won a lawsuit against two newspapers for printing these innuendos. It is, in fact, a complete urban myth.

[reldditmot]

They did here in England in the 70's, I was a big fan and still am, and I'm no idiot!

[Nattacus]

Master bate, and willy? :s

[VL0GG3RK1D]

this cartoon is wrong in so many ways...

[MasterBowyer]

Master Bates, Roger the Cabin Boy, Seaman Staines.

I'm sure Sigmund Freud would have a lot to say....

[iamthestig1]

Sigmund Freud probably created it......

[RickmalR]

Thank you John Ryan for your wonderful creation RIP

[thespermdonor]

RIP John Ryan

[welshstoner]

Master Mate.  It's a play on words.

Try the urban dictionary for Tom. Remember this show was out in the Seventies.

[givmespace]

i havent seen it dont need to watch it

know it was a great show

[Mancheguache]

He does say 'Master Bates' though.

[JoeTheToucan]

OH MAN that is hilarious. I didn't realise that!!

[trelcious]

The names were changed,after the first series

[g0moz]

captain pugwash king of the innuendos  I was just a kid when this was on now i know why my mum would never answer my questions about him heheh

[TamBellyDadMomom]

Don't forget Roger the Cabin Boy. Most of those names were from the imagination of Victor Lewis-Smith and didn't appear in the Pugwash series.

[g0moz]

anyone remember see man stains.

[impunkyournot]

its Seaman Stains lol

[g0moz]

hehe yes I was trying to be polite and masterbates well we know were that is going lol

[trueromance10]

master bates and wily,classic! people can say what ever they want but this show was filled with sex quotes!

[NotSuchAn]

they changed it to Master Mate

[zootsanchez]

Balls, your brain is out of control and making that shit up

[YUG77]

Does anyone remember Sir Prancelot by the same animators?

[granty128]

lol all my m8s call me captain pugwash lol

[1234ech]

sure thats not now added to my favourites..

[darkangel2347]

I love the bits where they say "Master Bates".

[UhClaire]

Can't get enough of Master Bates.

[hfu1973]

That's just an urban myth - there were no characters with those names. The cabin boy was called Tom for example, not Roger, and it was Master Mates. Check out the Wikipedia entry for more on the origins of the urban myth.

[pickleboy23]

Captain Pugwash was actually hiding in the closet.

He only made it public knowledge 3 days before his death.

He maintained right up to his death that "pugwash" kind of said it all about his homo sexual tendencies.

ie would you like it up the pugwash

[54spiritedwill54]

The BBC are not that stupid

[raoulkid]

If the BBC are'nt that stupid then watch Rainbow...haha!

[dragslayar]

yeah that was funny as hell especailly the one were it goes lets play with our twangers and bounce our balls !!!!!

[twoslices]

Captain Pugwash was captured off the coast of Florida in 1745 and brought back to England where he was hanged for piracy on the high seas.

[rwtig]

thats my favourite episode

[eipylOh]

lmao

[BlackHeartedPoet]

hahaha! i havn't seen this episode before! =D

[JoeDuveen]

It doesn´t matter how many computer simulation programs etc are available nowadays.Capt. Pugwash was made with zero technology and today´shows can´t hold a candle to it.

[LordZope]

I completly agree with you that does not mean it is the technology makes it rubbish it's just the people who make these shows nowerdays only want to make money and just hire a load of monkey on high tech laptops to type the stories.

[dave55811]

I asked someone else who the pirates were where this one kept saying "masturbate". Now I know. This is pretty funny. x3

[Gothz4lyfe]

this is brilliant, the old 1s r ALWAYS the best!

[MS85ToyotaCrown]

Ha Ha Do Do's never flew.

[michaelthonger]

how do you know? have you talked to one?

[fattoler]

who cares? when I was a kid I didn't know the difference, now we have grown up and become 'ruined' we now see the truth,still this was a better show than anythingelese they show now.

[48soso]

The truth of what?

[RockinSk8in]

could this show be any more dodgy?

[michaelthonger]

oi, captain pugwash is a pimp!

[megatorn]

wrong

[megatorn]

IT's a well known urban myth started by a newspaper.

[sungo8]

The BBC are not that stupid

[richbreen1]

thats not how pugwashes voice should be!!!

[motmot703]

hi does anybody know there names i have been trying to find out there names for ages. !!!!

[seanyboyrebel]

sounded like master mate to me

[ballygobackwards]

are u all deaf? of course he says master bates.. the people that made this programme did it for a laugh until the BBC relaised wat the characters names meant!!!

[megatorn]

No, that's not true. They don't have silly names like hat. It was a newspaper that made it all up.

[BANGERS68]

@megatorn

dam right.check my vid out. it explains the whole perfectly

[johnthemutineer]

beautiful

[harrynicholas]

Of course the Dodo is extinct, so is this an anachronism, or did Pugwash contribute to its demise...

[temujin10]

Try snopes urban legends reference, the BBC website, Wikipedia etc.

If you turn the volume up you will quite clearly hear the Cap'n say Master Mate and not Master Bate.

[blokezed]

I'm sure I could have been Captain Pugwashs' boy anyday. He would have been gentle with me!

[temujin10]

Sorry to kill your urban legend but the cast of characters were:

Captain Pugwash, The Mate, Pirate Barnabas, Pirate Willy, Tom the Cabin Boy, Cut-Throat Jake.

Sorry no Seaman Staines, Master Bates etc etc. Not surprising though as it was a kids programme.

[Talaghn]

He just said Master bates in the cartoon!

[megatorn]

Bates

[Borghammy]

i use to love this :D

[jaybullen]

i love this, i love you!

[KENNEDY456]

honistly i didn't make that up!

[shinylizardfilms]

this is rubbish my

[deaconline]

Yes the rude names were the subject of a court case in which John Ryan won damages plus legals costs so probably best not mention it again :)

[bensonscats]

Brilliant

[48soso]

No, sorry, that character never existed.

[PJBTW125]

Dont say roger the cabin boy was a myth please!I will lose the will to live.

[eggy1980cheese]

wow, I haven't watched Captain Pugwash for years. It takes me back years :D

[terawattz]

pugwash was the best.even though he cost the bbc a load of money.because his ship sank at the end of every episode.

[eggy1980cheese]

rofl.

[frowsybird]

It's Master Mate. Sorry to disappoint you.

[frowsybird]

I beg your pardon?

[PJBTW125]

lol. Aparently true.

[stela2828]

google

[looking4delboy]

he reminds me of a bird that used to go to school with me!she wasn't the best looking gilr I've ever seen...

[liamondo3]

PUGWASH IS A LEGEND!

[cheesyfeetclive]

master bait

xD

[rayquazalover]

ppl make cartoons so original and sometimes so boring

[WREKMAN3]

yeah that takes me back lol

[lollermachine]

good times...

[bluebennjy99]

this meant to be in mauritius?

[ChaosEn3]

The good ol' days.

[vkman34]

The thing about smutty names is a myth. Pugwash is the name of an international organisation for the reduction of armed conflict. It's an urban myth.

[tally24th]

it seemed less lame when i was younger :S

[tally24th]

i remember this show! omg..

[Xehanor]

this show is world renown for the name of its characters. found that out last night lol

[8Dbaybled8D]

mauritius?

[48soso]

unfortunately, there were no filthy names. It is a myth. The creator, John Ryan, even sued an english newspaper for printing the said names as fact. Sorry everyone!

[mistaben2k]

shame, it was wasted on us.

look what the kids now have to watch..

[justinsheriff]

who needs pixar eh?

[boaby22]

i loved this show when i was young

[BotenMikey]

I say now.

[Minte1991]

absouloute fith, hehe, just kidding!

[deltorso]

happy times eh!.

[pinkpusscat]

this was my childhood.....so many good memories

[wot2wot2]

the captain reminds me of a friend i once knew called rory,he was also an alcoholic

[skipperrrrrr]

Lol, I crewed once on a beautiful edwardian racing yacht and we raced and came 2nd. Anyway, our skipper was the splitting image of our hero!

[BringTheWar]

LEGEND !!!!!!!

[SDCCtheband]

hmmm its interesting to look back on your childhood and realising all those sick perverted names

[BROK3NDR34MZ]

Ah, captin pugwash. What a ledgend he was. He should have got an Oscar for the best pirate of the seven seas. Ahoy there mateys.

[burningsexyleo]
