Can you name some of the characters from captain pugwash?

Answer 1

Despite a widely believed urban myth, Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy were NOT amongst the crew of Captain Pugwash's vessel, The Black Pig - although Pirate Willy was.............. The crew/cast comprised:

Captain Horatio Pugwash
The Mate
Pirate Barnabas
Pirate Willy
Tom the Cabin Boy
Cut-Throat Jake
Jonah
Governor of Portobello
Maggie Lafayette

The "double entendre" names of Pugwash, which comprise the urban myth, (and how the "joke" names came about) can be seen at the link below. The writers of the series sued regarding this issue.

Answer 2

Characters [edit] Captain Pugwash The pompous but likeable captain of the Black Pig. Although he boasts of being the "bravest buccaneer", he is actually quite cowardly and stupid. His greed often gets him into trouble. Despite all this, he usually wins the day - either with the help of Tom the Cabin Boy or through sheer luck. Strangely enough, despite being a pirate, he is rarely seen committing any acts of piracy. [edit] The Mate A somewhat dopey character, who has a tendency to use malapropisms and to mispronounce common words. He has a teddy bear in his bunk and is quite mild-mannered. It is not entirely clear why he is the mate, as he does not appear to have any authority over the rest of the crew. He was present in the first ever Pugwash story, in which he was depicted as being constantly sleepy. [edit] Pirate Barnabas The most aggressive of the pirates, but in reality just as harmless. He is quite rebellious and grumpy, and is perhaps marginally more intelligent than Willy, the Mate or the Captain. He was not present in the 1997 series. [edit] Pirate Willy A simple sailor from Wigan. He appears to be the youngest crew member (apart from Tom). He is a gentle soul, and is against using violence. He does, however, have the occasional brainwave and has been the crew's saviour (admittedly sometimes more by luck than by design). [edit] Tom the Cabin Boy It might be argued that without Tom, Pugwash would have been sunk long ago. He is the most intelligent and resourceful member of the crew, the only one who can cook and the only one who can actually sail a ship. Although Pugwash would never admit it, Tom's ability to think up schemes is probably the only thing that prevents him from being a total failure as a pirate. Tom is an expert concertina player, and part of his repertoire is the Captain Pugwash theme. He was portrayed with a Home Counties accent in the first television adaptation, and with an Irish accent in the 1997 series. [edit] Cut-Throat Jake Captain Pugwash's fearsome arch-enemy, captain of the Flying Dustman. When he is not scheming to bring about Pugwash's downfall, he is a rather more competent pirate than his enemy, and always seems to have plenty of treasure. He speaks with a stereotypical West Country accent, and is easily recognisable by his eye patch and enormous black beard. [edit] Additional characters post-1997 Jonah Governor of Portobello Maggie Lafayette
